Learn How Cool Science Is with Ada Twist, Scientist!





When it comes to exploring the wonderful world of science there’s no better friend to do it with than Ada Twist, Scientist.

This Netflix series follows scientist Ada Twist and her best friends Rosie Revere, Engineer, and Iggy Peck, Architect, as they use science to solve problems and learn new things about their world.

The show Ada Twist, Scientist is based on the best-selling children’s books by author Andrea Beaty and illustrator David Roberts, developed with show producer Chris Nee (Vampirina, Ridley Jones, Doc McStuffins). It was created in partnership with Barrack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions, with Kerri Grant acting as the showrunner, story editor, and co-executive producer.

Each episode of Ada Twist, Scientist follows Ada’s adventures as she encounters new problems and discoveries with her friends. As a young scientist, Ada knows there’s no problem that science can’t help her solve!

Together, this trio of friends asks scientific questions, form hypotheses, and load up the lab to test their theories and learn new things.

At the end of the episode, viewers get to hear from real-life scientists who break down concepts in an easy-to-understand way. Some incredibly smart people have appeared in these segments, like planetary scientist Raquel Nuno, desert botanist Naomi Fruja, and aerospace engineer Keji Sojobi who worked on the James Webb Space Telescope!

The goal of Ada Twist, Scientist is to show kids just how fun science can be, encouraging young minds to get curious about their world, ask more questions, and use science to find solutions.
