Work It Out Wombats! is a new nationally distributed program for PBS Kids produced locally by GBH Kids that empowers children ages 3-6 with computational thinking skills. Through the animated show, preschoolers are exposed to ways of thinking that enable them to solve problems, express themselves, and accomplish tasks using the practices, processes and ideas at the core of computer science.
