Listen "How Does GPS Know Where We Are?"
Episode Synopsis
🛰️ Ziggy the Robot is on a top-secret delivery mission when his navigation system goes haywire! He thinks he’s on Mount Everest, but he’s only in the neighbor's rose garden. His predicament sparks a magnificent question: how do the maps on our phones know exactly where we are? Join Dr. Owl, Emma, and Ziggy as they blast off into the science of the Global Positioning System (GPS). Discover the super-fast satellites whizzing high above Earth, learn the secret of "triangulation" in a fun backyard game, and find out why it takes a whole team of satellites to make sure we never get lost. Will Ziggy fix his new "Guide-Perfect-System" and complete his mission? Tune in to find out!
