About Seuss Science Day:

Since 2012, Ozarks Public Television, in collaboration with community partners, has proudly honored the legacy of beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss by presenting Seuss Science Day, an annual event that encourages kids to explore the world around them. Based on the popular PBS KIDS series, The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That!, the event is designed to help young children with literacy and core science skills to prepare them for success in school – while taking them on Seussian adventures that inspire their curiosity.

Seuss Science Day provides children with the opportunity to learn through Seuss-themed science demonstrations, get creative with special activities, hear popular Dr. Seuss stories, and meet their favorite Seuss characters.
