The title Solar Punks is inspired by the “solarpunk” movement — a vision of a sustainable future where people, nature, and community thrive. Our show aims to bring this vision to life by inspiring children and families to imagine, create, and take part in building a world rooted in environmental care, creativity, and community action.

Three best friends from a sustainable future run a mobile fix-it shop, traveling back in time to help today's kids solve real-life environmental challenges with eco-friendly solutions.

Meet the Solar Punks!

Poppy, Pip, and Ollie are a resourceful fix-it crew from a sustainable future. When their utopia starts unraveling due to environmental issues caused by the past, they travel back in time in their AI van, AIDA, to empower real-world kids to solve today's eco-problems. Each solution creates a ripple effect, saving their future and inspiring kids to make a real difference in our world.

A human-plant hybrid with mood-dependent vine hair, Poppy is an optimist who will never give up on a challenge.

Solar-powered human-robot, Pip, is detail-oriented and analytical, with a mechanical arm that transforms into various tools to help solve problems.

Ollie, a human-lizard hybrid, is an underdog with superhero dreams, despite his cold-blooded sluggishness in the mornings.

Working Together for a Brighter Future

At Solar Punks, we believe storytelling can do more than entertain — it can spark real-world action and community transformation. Our mission is to inspire children and families to connect with nature, re-imagine their local environments, and take part in building a more sustainable future.

To amplify this message, we're thrilled to collaborate with KidsGardening.org and The Bee Conservancy, two national leaders in garden-based learning and pollinator protection respectively. Through these partnerships, we’re empowering young people to become active caretakers of their local ecosystems — starting right in their own backyards, schools, and community gardens.

As part of these collaborations:

Together, we aim to bridge the gap between story and action — motivating kids to get outside, engage with their communities, and become environmental stewards. Stay tuned for more world-class curriculum and children's activities coming soon!
