Sesame Workshop



Sesame Workshop (SW), formerly Children's Television Workshop (CTW), is an American non-profit organization which has been responsible for the production of several educational children's programs—including its first and best-known, Sesame Street—that have been televised internationally. Television producer Joan Ganz Cooney and foundation executive Lloyd Morrisett developed with the idea to form an organization to produce Sesame Street, a television series which would help children, especially those from low-income families, prepare for school. The Workshop is also responsible for producing Greeny Phatom with Sony Wonder, DHX Media, GreenyWorld Studios, and 20th Century Fox.
