Second Saturday Kids Days are free events that take place in the Ross Community Studio at the WOSU Public Media headquarters.

Each Second Saturday event features a new theme to explore that combines imagination, interaction and technology to explore art, science, math and reading. Children will experience learning through PBS Kids characters they already know and love.
The event is free, but advanced registration is required.

About Second Saturday Kids Days
Major funding for Second Saturday Kids Days is provided by The DiMarco Family Fund of The Columbus Foundation
When Ann and Tom DiMarco first learned about WOSU’s new headquarters, they looked beyond the physical space to what could happen inside the building.
They tailored the focus of their gift to match what is important to them – families and children. The generous gift from the DiMarco family provides program funding for the inaugural three years of Second Saturday Kids Days for Central Ohio families.
