What Do You Love About Curiosity Quest?

Well, on my last vlog I asked you a burning question.  I asked you, " If you could have one superpower what would it be?"

Well, I guess it was too hard to think of just one, because you guys seem to want many super powers.
From invisibility to shape shifting to flying, you are one imaginative bunch!  Thank you for sharing your answers with me. 

What super power would I want?  Flying, for sure.  Imagine how quickly I could get from place to place! Imagine how many more episodes of Curiosity Quest I could film? That would be amazing!

This week I wanted to share a fun video that I shot of the Curiosity Quest crew.  I caught them off guard while eating dinner, put the camera in their face and asked them to tell me five things that they love about working on Curiosity Quest.   Hear what they have to say.


By the way, I would love to know one thing that you love about Curiosity Quest.  Tell me your answers below!

Thank you for continuing to be awesome fans!  Hope you have a wonderful week.

In the meantime,

Stay Curious!

A New Arrival to the CQ Family

Hey There CQ Fans! 

So sorry it has been so long since I have posted.  It was a whirlwind of a Summer.  I can't believe it is already Fall. Truly, where has the time gone?

For those of you who follow us on Facebook and Twitter, you may have already heard the news, but in case you didn't I thought I would share this special update with you.  For the past few weeks we have been celebrating the arrival of a new member to the CQ family.  Our very own producer, Melissa, and her husband have welcomed in to this world a beautiful baby girl named Avery.  I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to this sweet little girl. 

I know!  She is gorgeous right?

She has brought much joy to the CQ family and we are so happy for Producer Melissa!  Congrats to her and her husband.

In other CQ news, we have been hard at work on new Curiosity Quest episodes.   Some of the locations that we recently filmed at are; Mrs. Grossman's Stickers, Frito Lay Factory, Long Beach Aquarium, and the Hodu Soy Beanery.  Can you guess what you will learn about in these episodes? Post your guesses in the comments section on this page.

Also, stay tuned in the near future for a special announcement coming your way.

Thank you for being such awesome fans!  We couldn't do it without you!

As Always,

Celebrate Earth Day with Joel's Daughter

Hey there CQ fans!

I am so excited that Spring is here! Do you know what that means?  It means that Earth Day is near! It is on Monday, April 22nd.

I happen to love the month of April.  Do you?

Here at Curiosity Quest we spend a lot of time doing episodes on "Going Green."  We have learned so much about how to help take care of our planet.  April means Earth Day celebrations! Earth Day gives me a chance to participate in events where I can share with students all that I have learned from doing the Curiosity Quest Goes Green episodes.

This past weekend I had the honor of hosting an Earth Day event in my home town.  I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of CQ fans and I had the opportunity to learn new tips on how to help our planet.  My daughter joined me at this event and was so inspired that she wanted to share some of the tips that she learned with you.  Watch the video to meet Devyn and see how she helps the planet.

Make sure to leave a comment below to tell Devyn and I  what you do to help take care of Planet Earth.

In the meantime, Happy Earth Day!

Stay Curious!
