“I couldn’t be more stoked to team up with Netflix and Jimmy Kimmel to bring SCHOOLED! to life. Our series is about giving kids a stage big enough for their ideas," said Rober. "This will be the ultimate playground for science, creativity, and competition to come together. I’m so pumped to see what these students come up with. My expectations are high. I’m ready to be blown away.”
John Derderian, Netflix Vice President of Animation Series + Kids & Family TV said, "Mark Rober is a master of the 'wow' moment, and we’ve seen firsthand how much our members love his unique brand of science-fueled spectacle. We’re taking that energy to the next level with SCHOOLED!. It isn’t just a competition; it’s a celebration of creativity and engineering. It’s exactly the kind of co-viewing experience that brings families together, and we can't wait to see what these young makers and tinkerers create in the halls of CrunchLabs Academy."
