OUTREACHWQPT PBS
Earlier this year, WQPT hosted a virtual
Odd Squad Camp for students in Rock
Island. It was a significant change taking
the camp that we have historically
offered in-person to an online format,
but the “Agents” loved it!
Agent Zion (pictured) loved the camp so
much that her family threw her an Odd
Squad-themed birthday party! Her party
included an Odd Squad cake, a special
“case” that all her friends could help her
solve, and a fantastic Ms. O outfit!
There’s something about this PBS KIDS
program that children and parents love.
It’s quirky and fun, but it’s also excellent
at teaching math and problem-solving
skills. And this month, Odd Squad’s
Mobile Unit is back in action with four
all-new episodes of Odd Squad
featuring a new team member and
new challenges. The agents will take
on all sorts of oddness, including a box
containing mighty villain powers, an
o-possible mission, and racing the
clock to stop the Sandbeast before
it’s too late!
New episodes of Odd Squad begin
on Tuesday, July 13 | 3:00PM.
If your children can’t wait for these new
episodes, they can sharpen their Odd
Squad agent acumen with a new game
called “Artifact Adventure!” This game
allows them to race to collect the ancient
relics before the Snack-pocalypse hits!
It’s available to play anytime on PBS KIDS
Games app or at: pbskids.org/oddsquad
