Sparking Curiosity with Ready Jet Go!

Curiosity about space starts very early. As soon as kids are old enough to look up at the night sky, they begin to wonder: what is up there? Ready Jet Go is a kid’s first introduction to space, earth science, and technology, presented in an entertaining and engaging way that will inspire a life-long interest.

Ready Jet Go! follows two neighborhood kids: Sean, who has an all-consuming drive for science facts, and Sydney, who has a passion for science fiction and imagination. They both befriend the new kid on their street, Jet Propulsion, whose family members happen to be aliens from the planet Bortron 7. Together, they explore our solar system and the effects it has on the science of our planet, all while learning about friendship and teamwork along the way.

Ready Jet Go! builds on the curiosity of children ages 3 to 8 about astronomy and earth science, telling stories that feature characters learning about space in a way that is accessible to children. It also aims to make kid viewers responsible citizens of planet Earth.
