Fox is beefing up its new Saturday-morning TV block of STEM programming, “Xploration Station,” which debuts in September. Two new hosts–YouTube and social media’s MysteryGuitarMan Joe Penna and MIT graduate and astronautics expert Emily Calandrelli will join previously announced host Philippe Cousteau. Penna will host Xploration Earth 2050, which investigates what the world and technology will look like in the year 2050. Calandrelli will host Xploration Outer Space, which explores space projects at NASA, private companies, and top universities. Cousteau, the keynoter at the upcoming Cynopsis Kids Business Summit, will host Xploration Awesome Planet. Conceived and produced by Steve Rotfeld Productions, these two series are both part of a two-hour block of 30-minute programs featuring science and technology. The fourth series is Xploration Animal Science.
