Governor JB Pritzker announced that the All In
Illinois website will now offer a kid-friendly content series to
connect children and families with educational resources from
Illinois museums and attractions. The content series features videos
and activities to inspire, educate and entertain children while we
all continue to stay home to flatten the curve against the
coronavirus pandemic.

To launch the new series, All In Illinois is proud
to partner with the Field Museum in Chicago, John Deere Pavilion in
Moline, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in
Springfield and several attractions in southern Illinois. New
kid-friendly content will be released on the website from partners
across the state over the next four weeks. Content will also be
featured weekly on social media channels. The series will kick off
with a video from Emily Graslie, Chief Curiosity Correspondent at
the Field Museum and host of “Brain Scoop,” a popular "vlog" on
YouTube.

“Our goal is to provide fun and educational
activities for children to engage with as we continue to be ‘all in’
and stay home to support each other through this challenging time,”
said Governor JB Pritzker. “This content series also offers a taste
of a variety of family-friendly experiences that will be available
to them, once it’s safe to visit.”

about the partnership with the Field Museum,” said Emily Graslie,

great way we as a museum can continue providing educational
resources for young people across the state, through both our
website and educational YouTube series, The Brain Scoop.”
