Space Racers is an American computer animated STEM-focused educational television series featuring the cadets of the Stardust Space Academy. It was produced by Space Race LLC, Maryland Public Television for its first season, and WNET New York for its second season. The series is distributed by PBS Distribution and American Public Television (from 2014 to 2016) in the United States, and by CAKE Entertainment internationally.
