Enzo Monfre loves animals and science. He believes it’s important that kids learn about insects and animals so they aren’t afraid of them. Enzo believes science can save the world. So, he created an online show called ENZOology. He thought of the name and what the show would be about, he thought of the idea of videotaping himself talking about science and posting it online. He also decides the subject matter covered and does most of the research for each episode. There is no script or cue cards, just Enzo talking about what he knows, what he has learned from years of watching National Geographic and the Discovery Channel and from reading an extensive collection of reference books. He has been on the “Ellen” show and interviewed on Talk Radio, and he is on a development team that is developing the show for international broadcast on major television networks.
Enzo is eight years old.
His Mom Heidi is the animal wrangler, his Dad Pete is the director. I spoke to Pete by phone, and it was obvious that not only is he crazy proud of his son, but he is excited to share what Enzo is doing with the world. He sent me a selection of DVDs, including ENZOology Season One, which is a collection of 10 short episodes. We see Enzo exploring in his backyard and finding Anoles (a small green lizard), walking near a river and finding fossils, and in a college science department looking at crystals. I think what appeals to kids about these videos is that Enzo isn’t a professional actor, he’s not reading a script, he’s just a kid talking about science. My almost-ten year old son pronounced it “cool” and “awesome”, and told me science is his favorite subject too!
