This August, YouTube Kids is uplifting high-quality arts and culture content with an exciting new Takeover experience designed to spark kids’ curiosity and creativity just in time for the Back to School season.

Running from August 3rd to September 7th, families can explore a dedicated section featuring high-quality content that brings the museum experience to life — from exploring space and dinosaurs to discovering history and creating art! To help fill a humanities content coverage gap for young learners, this special programming features exclusive videos from beloved creator Ms. Rachel and The Laurie Berkner Band as well as world-class institutions like The Met and MoMA.

Leaning into our "View and Do" concept, the Takeover encourages kids to take their learning beyond the screen.
