Resources for Students
Did you know that when TV was invented, many people thought that it would become the greatest educational tool ever created? At WMHT, we still think TV can be that great educational tool, and it can be tons of fun, too. That's why we offer shows you'll love every weekday on WMHT. But it doesn't stop there. Along with our partners at PBS Kids and PBS Kids GO!, we have a whole lot of online games, projects and webisodes just waiting for you to discover. So what are you waiting for? Start poking around!
For Teens and Older Kids
