About

The California Academy of Sciences welcomes stop-motion animation internet sensation Tiny Chef for a joyful takeover featuring a brand-new 20-minute planetarium show, exhibit, and Academy-wide activations that inject hope and fun into climate action. Visitors of all ages will explore science through the beloved plant-based chef's signature blend of humor, heart, and adorably chaotic mishaps—all while discovering how even the tiniest actions can make a big difference for our planet. Chef’s Academy residency comes on the heels of his recently announced candidacy for mayor of Pioneertown, California.

Standing just eight inches tall, Tiny Chef is an herbivore who creates the world's tiniest dishes from his garden tree stump kitchen. Created through meticulous stop-motion animation, Chef has built a devoted following on social media and through his Nickelodeon series, teaching children and adults alike about cooking, creativity, and caring for the planet.
