We offer a robust regional news service supported by an award-winning newsroom, home to Billy Penn, PlanPhilly and the WHYY Climate Desk. We are deeply committed to the needs of young people. Many people’s first experience with WHYY is watching our award-winning PBS Kids television programs as a child. We also teach thousands of kids to make videos in 40+ local schools and at our studio. We bring together people in the region for interesting and fun events in person and online. From critical community conversations to advanced screenings with big personalities, keep an eye on WHYY.org/events for things to do all year round.

An exciting project in playful learning!
A new pilot program called Live and Learn brings playful learning installations to two affordable housing communities in North Philadelphia. Based on the science of playful learning and child development, these installations seek to create spaces where kids can strengthen their skills in language and vocabulary, math and science, problem solving, and more. In collaboration with educators, housing developers, and local nonprofit organizations, parents and community residents shape the goals, designs, and themes of each project. Learn more about this work through WHYY's feature: https://lnkd.in/ehX-zNPx
