Ready Jet Go

Ready Jet Go! is a PBS Kids animated series about two earth kids and their alien friend Jet who explore space science topics like planets, orbits, and rockets. Episodes mix storylines with short explainer segments, songs, and real NASA footage, making astronomy both accurate and approachable for early elementary viewers. Created by science communicator Craig Bartlett and advisors, the show aims to ignite curiosity about STEM fields. Parents value that many episodes and games are free to stream on PBS Kids, and companion activities can extend learning offline. It’s not a full curriculum, but as a fun anchor for space-themed units, it works beautifully.
