“I’m a Steve Trash fan!“
LeVar Burton – Reading Rainbow, Star Trek – Next Generation, Roots
Yeah… LeVar Burton is a fan!
After watching a few episodes of Steve Trash Science on PBS TV, we think you will be too!
Steve Trash Science is a nationally syndicated educational – STEAM – TV SHOW for kids on PBS.
Currently STEVE TRASH SCIENCE is broadcast on PBS affiliates ACROSS THE US including in Los Angeles, New York, and New Orleans.
Kids really love the show but our biggest fans seem to be teachers (elementary school teachers and even some middle school teachers) who use our shows in their classrooms (on YouTube mostly) to introduce students to new subjects.
We’ve correlated our themes to COS standards (list at the bottom of this page) to make it easier for teachers to know what topics are valuable teaching tools (list is grade specific) and we’ve included the lengths of each episode for easier classroom integration.
We’ve – ALSO – expanded our TOPICS to include more than just science… we’re now… STEAM
(science technology engineering art math)
SEASON ONE was such a success, that teachers began writing to us and asking if we could include more STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Math) subjects.
We thought about it a bunch, and realized that would be really fun.
So we wrote and shot SEASON TWO with STEAM in mind. Season 2 began nationwide broadcast in Oct ’23.
