Scribbles and Ink Interview featuring WGBH’s Marisa Wolsky

For Season 2, Episode 9 of the STEAM Boston Podcast, we're featuring WGBH's Marisa Wolsky. We're going to be talking about Scribbles and Ink. Based on the popular books and characters by author/illustrator, Ethan Long, Scribble's and Ink is a character-driven, original digital interactive series that allows kids to discover the utter joy of using paint, brush, crayon, and pencil to propel their way through an adventure.

Produced by WGBH Kids for PBS KIDS, the Scribbles and Ink experience begins in the Scribbles & Ink studio, where animations of lead characters, Scribbles, and Ink, prompt kids to a free drawing experience. When kids are ready for an adventure, they can go to a story room and click on a photographic object – an umbrella, balloon, planet, or box – for the integrated game and video experience that follows.

Pretty much what they’ll do is they’ll go in, they’ll enter a code for whatever party, the “keyword” party, or whatever setting name or title it is.

Mogahid also talks about the importance of diversity in the workplace.
