WXXI's Solar Eclipse Digital Toolkit

This digital toolkit includes:

  • video & audio
  • digital games & apps,
  • printables & hands-on activities,
  • grown-up support resources
  • a full PBS KIDS eclipse resource folder

It was created and curated by WXXI Education staff for use with young children and their families in a variety of learning settings (libraries, schools, out-of-school spaces, and more). The goal of these resources is to celebrate the Total Solar Eclipse happening on April 8, 2024, as well use this as a spark to explore different space-related-topics that may be of interest.
