Join Pennon Education and WITF for a fun-filled family celebration of the joy of learning and the excitement of a new school year.
About this Event

Gear Up for Learning offers families an opportunity to explore Pete the Cat-themed stations that spark curiosity and highlight STEM, literacy and social-emotional learning. Plus, families can meet and take a photo with Pete the Cat!

Families and children can:

  • Code Blue Bots to demolish a playground like in Pete the Cat’s Construction Destruction
  • Imagine and design the ultimate new playground using LEGOs
  • Guide Spheros through outer space and safely back to Earth
  • Design their own groovy button to match Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons
  • Report the news of what they’re most excited about from our Digital Creator Studio
  • Enjoy bilingual story time with Pennon Education’s original character, Tia Flora!

Children who attend will receive a FREE copy of Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes by Eric Litwin, James Dean and Kimberly Dean. Teens will receive a FREE copy of The Legend of the Last Library by Frank L. Cole.

Midtown Scholar Bookstore will have additional books available for purchase, too.

Gear Up for Learning is a free event designed for children, ages 3–14.
