Guess Who? Video Learning Series

In partnership with ITVS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and their Women and Girls Lead campaign, we've created our "Guess Who?" children's educational program which is a series of videos and curriculum designed to teach young children to challenge gender stereotypes. These videos were created by student producers at Boston University, USC, Webster University, Columbia College and Lipscomb University. The latest videos in this series will air nationally on PBS in March.
