The PBS Kids Go! series 'Arthur' is helping kids get into Earth Day today with the launch of five brand new episodes about environmental protection, cultural awareness, and teamwork. 

The first episode airing is "Buster Baxter and the Letter from the Sea." In this episode, Buster discovers a message in a bottle on the beach while on vacation with the Read family and begins sending his own messages by throwing bottles into the ocean. Buster and Arthur ultimately learn that keeping the beaches and waterways clean is the real message.

Turn on your television Sunday morning and you're likely to catch Cary native and NC State grad Judy Lee hosting a new PBS Kids Go! series called "Design Squad Nation."

For the show, hosts Lee and Adam Vollmer team up with kids across the country -- and all over the world -- to make their imaginations come to life through engineering.

The aim of the program, according to PBS, is to show kids that engineering is everywhere, even where you least expect to find it.

Lee graduated from NCSU with a bachelor's degree in engineering ('98) and a master's in industrial design ('04). The engineering and design degrees make her a natural for "Design Squad Nation."
