Sesame Street, beloved by four decades of preschoolers and their caregivers, launches season 42 on PBS KIDS September 26. In an effort to encourage school readiness, especially in the disciplines of science and math, areas where U.S. students are falling behind, the new season focuses on a STEM curriculum, an acronym for science, technology, engineering and math. Other season highlights include original songs and street stories; a brand new segment "Murray's Science Experiments"; new "Super Grover 2.0" stories and new "Abby's Flying Fairy School" animations. Also in season 42 are many humorous celebrity moments featuring Elmo, Oscar, Abby and their friends making keen observations and showing their interest in hands-on investigation...all of which reinforce and encourage preschoolers to say: "Let's find out!"
