PNC: a proud sponsor of Sesame Street™ One World, One Sky: Big Bird’s Adventure

Sesame Street™ One World, One Sky: Big Bird’s Adventure is a cross-cultural planetarium show geared toward children ages 4-6 that provides an enriching, exciting and interactive introduction to astronomy and other sciences. Big Bird, Elmo and Hu Hu Zhu, a muppet from Zhima Jie, the Chinese co-production of Sesame Street™, take an imaginary trip to the moon, to the delight of children in both the United States and China.

Sesame Street™ One World, One Sky: Sesame Street Explorers

The Growing Up Great Together Under One Big Sky planetarium tour will debut in April 2009. The program will feature the One World, One Sky show. The tour will travel to various early childhood education centers within the PNC service area where children might not have the opportunity to visit a planetarium. The inflatable dome can hold 35 students and the show is 20 minutes long. In advance of the planetarium show, a complimentary astronomy-based curriculum will be sent to the early childhood education center for the teacher to share with the students who will be participating.

The project includes a helpful educator’s guide with suggestions for activities and lessons for your classroom.

“As early childhood professionals, we are always looking for ways to provide children with new and exciting learning experiences. The PNC Grow Up Great program has allowed us to spark and expand upon the children’s interest in science by providing us with new classroom materials, field trip opportunities, and classroom visitors.”
