Under the Hood
with Mathias

How it's built, how it works, and who makes it go.

A curious kid who wants to know how the world's machines really work, so he goes and asks the people who build and run them.

The Host

A seven-year-old who wants to know how everything works.

Mathias is curious about how things work: cars and engines, robots, rockets, cranes, and the gadgets around the house. So instead of guessing, he goes and finds out for himself.

Each episode, he meets the people who build and run these machines, asks the questions a kid actually wonders about, and explains what he learns to you. Real makers, real answers.

"If I want to know how something works, I go and ask the person who made it. That's the whole show."

What We Explore

Four worlds, and we're just getting started.

Short episodes, big curiosity, and always the same move: find the people who build and run these things, and ask them how. Built for kids, honest enough that the grown-ups stick around too.

01

Things that go

Cars and engines, trains, planes, drones and rockets. Anything with a motor and somewhere to be.

02

Robots & humanoids

Helper robots, humanoids, drones and self-driving machines. How they sense, move and (kind of) think.

03

Big builds

Cranes, bridges, tunnels, diggers and giant ships. The massive machines that build our world.

04

Everyday machines

The gadgets and gizmos around the house. How the ordinary stuff actually works once you take it apart.

And in every world, the same idea: Mathias meets the makers, the people who build and run these things, and finds out how they do it.

01
First Up

"How can a car drive itself with nobody in the seat?"

We kick off with a machine that's part car, part robot: the self-driving car. How does it "see" the road? What does it do when something runs out in front of it? And will kids growing up now even need to learn to drive? First stop under the hood, and there are plenty more worlds to come.
