Recognized at the first Webby Awards in 1997, PBS moved early with safe kids’ areas and interactive projects, then set the template for educational streaming: the PBS KIDS online video player in 2008, full-screen experiences in 2009, and a mobile app in 2011 that normalized free, research-backed learning on phones and tablets. Beloved series like Sesame Street and Arthur anchored the digital classroom. PBSKIDS.org earned Webby recognition in 2013, and the PBS KIDS Video App has been honored repeatedly from 2015 through 2025. In 2012, PBS Digital Studios made education native to YouTube with Idea Channel and It’s Okay to Be Smart, growing to hundreds of millions of views and millions of subscribers. Named Webby Media Company of the Year in 2024, PBS proved that trusted, community-minded storytelling thrives online and belongs in every household with an Internet connection.
