IPTV Participates in I'll Make Me a World in Iowa

Staff from IPTV Education provided a hands on learning experience for attendees of I'll Make Me a World in Iowa, an annual  diverse collaboration of Iowans, which highlights African-American arts, culture and contributions through education, awareness and preservation. Attendees who stopped by our booth performed a hands-on experiment as they learned about states of matter. 
Kids & Family
PBS KIDS Playtime Pad

As part of the Ready to Learn grant, IPTV has received 20 new PBS KIDS Playtime Pads for use in our educational work. You may recall that these new tablets were just introduced to the market in November, and have an attractive price point for families starting around $70. IPTV's work with the Playtime Pads will take place in Storm Lake this spring where families will work together to create content using the PBS KIDS Scratch Jr. App.
