BOOSTER TROOP is an elite squad of intergalactic action hero kids who fight misinformation and promote better health with the help of a talking penguin.
Meet the Characters
SOFIA THE INVENTIVE
As a whip-smart and very inventive inventor, 11-year old Sophia is all about new discoveries through rationale and the facts. Raised by her single mother, she knows she has to push herself extra hard, and there’s no problem too big for her to think her way through and solve. Plus, she has a magical coat that can take them backwards and forwards in time to understand how and when things (like certain scientific discoveries) came to be!
MATEO THE FACTFINDER
12-year old Mateo is our arts and science expert. He knows a lot about both. And loves them equally. Mateo is an information addict. If he doesn’t know it, he knows where to get it. (Hint: It’s not always on the web!) He brings the important (and cool) facts and tie-ins to each episode. He has a gift of being able to draw things in a way that make it easy to understand.
JULY THE AWESOME
12-year-old July is highly empathetic and understands that while there are facts, people believe inaccurate info for a lot of reasons, and helping her team understand how people have come to believe what they believe is important. She’s a bridge builder between worlds, generations and everything else. She also sees the good in everyone. She used to hate her glasses until she realized that by turning them a particular way, they would let her see a world of possibilities she didn't’ know existed.
NORM THE PENGUIN
Norm is essentially a 6-year-old kid who looks up to his friends and wants to help and learn from them. He’s the little brother or sister that the viewer might be or have, and the kids will feel smart by helping Norm understand something he is really struggling with but they’re starting to get. He will ask the questions our younger viewers will want to ask too.
