Both series are produced by veteran production company Baleuko and distributed by Gookapi.
In a landmark collaboration bridging European creative education and Chinese EdTech innovation, two celebrated Spanish animated series — Liz’s Creative Workshop (El Taller Creativo de Liz) and Mithy the explorer (Mithy el explorador) — have been selected to anchor the STEAM Lab zone of the newly launched TAL International Tablet in China.
This partnership, was possible through Brilliant Animation and it marks a significant milestone for Spanish educational content on the global stage, bringing Spain’s distinctive approach to science, art, and hands-on learning to families across international markets.
Both series are produced by veteran production company Baleuko and distributed by Gookapi.
Not Just Learning English — Learning Through English
The TAL International Tablet is designed around a powerful pedagogical shift: moving from “learning the language” to “using the language as a tool.”
While its Cambridge English system helps children master English as a subject (Learn to use English), the STEAM Lab zone takes a revolutionary leap forward: children use English to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (Use English to learn).
In this immersive environment, English ceases to be the destination and becomes the vehicle. Rather than memorizing isolated vocabulary, children watch, listen, think, and solve real-world problems entirely in English. It is precisely this “thinking in English” approach that demands premium international content — -and the Spanish production studio has delivered exactly that.
Why These Two Spanish Titles?
The inclusion of Liz’s Creative Workshop and Mithy the explorer is no coincidence. Together, they cover the full spectrum of the STEAM framework while embodying the spirit of inquiry and creativity that defines world-class early education.
Liz’s Creative Workshop — Where Art Meets Engineering
Led by the imaginative Liz, each episode transforms everyday materials into extraordinary inventions, blending artistic vision with engineering logic. Children don’t just follow instructions — they are invited to experiment, fail, iterate, and create. The series champions the mindset that problems are opportunities for design, making it a perfect vehicle for teaching practical problem-solving in English.
– STEAM Focus: Art (A) + Engineering (E) + Mathematics (M)
– Core Skills: Design thinking, hands-on creation, spatial reasoning, creative problem-solving
– Pedagogical Value: Demonstrates that creativity is not separate from logic — it is the foundation of innovation
Mithy The Explorer — Science as a Great Adventure
Young adventurer Mithy journeys through jungles, oceans, and beyond, modeling scientific observation, forming hypotheses, and uncovering how the natural world works. The show nurtures relentless curiosity and demonstrates that science is not a classroom subject but a way of exploring the unknown — a philosophy that resonates deeply with TAL’s mission to cultivate “global thinkers” rather than “test takers.”
– STEAM Focus: Science (S) + Technology (T) + Nature & Environment
– Core Skills: Inquiry-based learning, observation, hypothesis testing, ecological awareness
– Pedagogical Value: Proves that the best scientists are fearless explorers who ask better questions
Together, Liz and Mithy offer a complete educational ecosystem: one teaches children to build solutions; the other teaches them to discover questions worth solving.
A Shared Vision for the AI Era
“The real dividing line in the AI age is not whether a child can translate a sentence, but whether they can use English as a tool to explore scientific principl.es, analyze engineering challenges, and understand the wider world. AI can translate words, but it cannot replace a child who thinks, questions, and creates in English. That is why we built STEAM Lab, and that is why we chose these exceptional Spanish productions,” said TAL International Tablet Product Marketing Team.
For Baleuko and Gookapi, Liz’s Creative Workshop and Mithy the explorer, the collaboration represents powerful validation of Spain’s capacity to produce educational IP with global resonance. As families across international markets open the TAL International Tablet, Spanish storytelling, design sensibility, and pedagogical values are now shaping the next generation of bilingual, cross-disciplinary learners.
