PBS KIDS Playtesting Program

Shannon started the PBS KIDS Playtesting Program to get real feedback from real kids. It began in schools and later moved completely online, allowing families from all over the United States to help test new games and shape what PBS KIDS makes next.

Families play a PBS KIDS game before it gets released! The feedback from kids, parents, and caregivers helps guide improvements to the game’s experience, engagement, and learning. The goal is to make sure kids have a great experience, and playtesting helps do that!
