Meet Our TPT Interns
Ella Arvidson, Ready to Learn Intern Gustavus Adolphus College, Elementary Education Major
Favorite PBS Show: Arthur
Why TPT? I love watching PBS, and I wanted to see different educational opportunities that weren’t in a classroom. What would your PBS show be? Gus Asks Why! – A children’s show about a dog that is curious about the world, asks questions, and finds the answer!
Truong Vu, Marketing/
Communications Intern University of Minnesota Twin Cities Marketing Major Favorite PBS Show: America Outdoors with Baratunde Thurston
Damenica Ellis, History Intern Howard University Journalism Major Favorite PBS Show: Wild Kratts, Arthur, and the Magic School Bus .
Why TPT? Their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Series like That Got Weird provide a platform to share real stories of racism that conventionally go unheard.
What would your PBS show be? Where to Next?
Why TPT? I applied to TPT because I had the
opportunity to learn about the field I want to get into, and TPT was a staple in my household growing up.

Favorite PBS Show: Barney
Why TPT? Education media bridges the gap between children, technology, and the world in which we live. TPT has been making strides in this area, and I just cannot-not be a part of that! What would your PBS show be? Don't Yuck My Yum : a show in which school children showcase their lunches from different countries.
