About Skillsville:

Cora, Dev and Rae are 8-year-old friends who love hanging out together. But when Cora’s game designer mom asks them to test out her new virtual reality video game, the three friends get to take their playtime to a whole new level. That game is called… “Skillsville.”

“Skillsville” is an animated show for kids, ages 4-8, that teaches simple strategies to enhance their success skills – such as pausing to think, planning, organizing and persevering through setbacks - through the genre of video games and helps align their interests to future career possibilities.

Starting Monday, March 3, watch “Skillsville” anytime on the PBS KIDS Video App and seven days a week at 4:30 pm CT on the 24/7 PBS KIDS channel and 7:30 am CT on TPT2.
