Children's media has traditionally portrayed scientists as nerdy or geeky men, to the exclusion of women and youth from culturally diverse communities. While we see representations of scientists changing, we also find that STEM related media may play additional roles beyond modeling what scientists and other STEM professionals look like. Through Talking Science with Media our team closely examines children’s video watching and podcast listening habits to understand how those experiences prompt STEM related conversations with family members that can lead to the development of their STEM identities.

¡OYE Tumble! brings together the children's podcast producers from Tumble Science Podcast for Kids and AUI alongside the Talking Science team to inspire an early love for STEM in children. With the participation of cultural advisors, community partners, and families, the team will develop 34 Spanish and English language podcast episodes for kids ages 5 through 9. These culturally and linguistically relevant podcasts seek to prompt family STEM conversations and activities both at-home and on-the-go.
The podcast series ¡OYE Tumble! is expected to reach over one million downloads throughout the project's duration. It leverages the listenership of the existing Tumble Science Podcast for Kids series, which consistently ranks in the top 5 U.S. education podcasts in the "Kids & Family" category. All episodes will be free and widely available on podcast platforms. Learn more here.
