"WAAAHHH!!!!!!!! The first episode and 'Katie and Tex' launched today," Katie wrote alongside it.
She continued: "Animations to teach kids aged 5+ about tech. Do you recognise the voice of Katie? Watch this space… more to come. Couple of BTS shots from a few months back! CONGRATS TECH SHE CAN AND THANK YOU!"
It's definitely been an exciting start to the year for Katie and her proud mother Carol. In January, the 61-year-old headed to Cambridge to celebrate Katie's achievement during a fun night out.
"My girl @katie.science. Grafter. Brilliant. Scientist. Funny. Stunning. She's passed her PhD in nanotechnology at Cambridge University," Carol shared following the celebration.
