Plot Synopsis

READY JET GO! is a PBS Kids earth science and astronomy series for children ages 3-8, taking viewers on a journey into outer space while building on children's curiosity about science, technology and astronomy. The series 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 the solar system and the effects it has on the science of our planet, while learning about friendship and teamwork along the way. At the heart of every episode is a basic, kid-friendly question about outer space or Earth science. In the show, the characters often use the scientific method to find the answers to their questions. Plus, READY JET GO! features live-action interstitials with Jet Propulsion Laboratory astronomer Dr. Amy Mainzer, who also is the science curriculum consultant for the show.
