“Peanuts” was created by Charles M. Schulz in 1950.
DHX will produce original short-form STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) content that will be exclusive to Apple, including astronaut Snoopy.
Peanuts Worldwide and NASA recently signed a Space Act Agreement, designed to inspire a passion for space exploration and STEM among the next generation of students.
