This is where we learn about viruses, also known as germs. They may be small, but they can cause big damage by making us ill. Come and learn how to stay safe from them.

This is where we learn that more than 3/4 of all animals are insects! They may be small, but they work together to make plants grow so that we can eat.

This is where we learn that plastics made from crude oil last forever. If we're not careful, the world will be covered in plastic, so we should learn to reuse, recycle, and reduce.

This is where we snorkel in the big, wide, salty ocean! Nearly all the water in the world is in the sea, and we're made mostly of water, too!

This is where we meet our cousins in the animal world, gorillas! They're shy and peaceful, but don't mess with them because they're strong!

Why do we need to eat? Can humans eat anything? Why are insects a healthy snack option? What are some of the most unusual foods consumed on the African continent? What is a balanced diet? What is food made of, and what happens when we eat it? Join N'Gen's intrepid teachers on a one-of-a-kind journey through the human digestive system to find out! This ride is not for the faint of heart (or rather, faint of stomach!) and features an amusement park-style slide down the 7-meter-long intestine. Let's go! Let's know!

How big is our universe? What does the Moon look like? Why do we have seasons and the transition from day to night and night to day? What keeps us from falling off the Earth? How can we stop using energy from sources that harm our planet? Can energy kill viruses? In this episode of N'Gen, our enthusiastic teachers from Lagos will answer all these questions and more. The show is packed with fun tips and activities to do at home, like how to make and launch your own rocket ship! You will also be burning energy while watching the show with Tadhi's enjoyable fitness routine, as well as learning how to manage troubling feelings and wind down. Let's Go! Let's Know!

Wetlands are an important part of Earth's ecosystem, found everywhere on our planet. But how much do we know about wetlands, and the plants and animals that live there? Admire the incredible show nature puts on in the Okavango Delta. Join our young explorers, Tuli and Ethan, on their journey through Uganda's amazing landscapes, where they discover incredible creatures and unique habitats. Meet his majesty, the Shoebill. Learn about all the uses of the papyrus plant, now and in ancient times. Understand why conservation of these ecosystems is crucial to our survival. Let's go inquire, explore, scramble, wade, and know wetlands!

What are robots made of, and how do they work? Can robots be just like humans? Can robots think for themselves, and if not, how do we teach them? How different are the robots we see in real life from the ones we know from movies like Transformers? Ms. Bot, a very special guest on the show, will be joining us to answer all these questions. We'll also take you on a trip to a makerspace in Northern Uganda to show you how young women and men, girls and boys, make their very own robots with locally available materials. Let's go, Let's know!
