Lyla in the Loop

Series

Lyla in the Loop

20 episodes

A PBS KIDS series about Lyla Loops, her family, and Stu, the big blue creature only she can see. Each half hour holds two stories, and every story is a problem taken apart in steps: designing a morning routine so the family stops running late, debugging why Stu has started beeping, testing and retesting a homemade cleanup contraption, sequencing a sandwich or a batch of cookies, working out the timing inside a double-dutch rope. It is computational thinking dressed as an ordinary week, where you plan, try, look at what broke, and revise. Pre-K through grade 2.
