WXXI TV

I Can Be What?!

A series that gives kids a sneak peek into the world of STEAM careers – Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math.

I Can Be What?! airs Saturdays at 9 a.m., beginning October 5 on WXXI-TV and repeats Sunday, starting October 6 at 7 a.m. It will also air on WXXI-Kids Saturdays, October 19-November 9 at 6:30 p.m.

WXXI is proud to bring its YouTube series, I Can Be What?!, that gives kids a sneak peek into STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) careers, to WXXI-TV. The series explores various professions with host Jennifer Indovina, a science communicator, inventor, and electrical engineer. Jennifer visits professionals on their own turf and embeds herself in their workdays. A zookeeper, a chocolatier, an athletic trainer – she jumps headfirst into a typical day, learning not only what makes their jobs fun and rewarding, but the responsibilities, skills, and education involved in doing their work.

Geared towards students 7-11 years old, I Can Be What?! provides an entryway into career exploration that will stimulate conversation, inspire further research, and ultimately instill confidence in pursuing academic, technical, trade, and artistic endeavors. The series’ website, WXXI.org/icanbewhat, provides online content and resources to help parents, caregivers and educators further their student’s exploration process.
