Super Grover 2.0 is Grover's second superhero identity, an upgrade to his popular Super Grover character. Super Grover 2.0 uses his superpowers of investigating, observing and reporting to solve problems and help others.

Super Grover 2.0 appears in a series of Sesame Street segments which debuted in Season 41.

The Super Grover 2.0 segments focus on the STEM curriculum (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).[1] Super Grover 2.0 is featured traveling the world investigating questions, observing facts and reporting on solutions to them.[2]

Super Grover 2.0 appeared as a guest on Good Morning America and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in September 2010 to promote Sesame Street. Sesamestreet.org and PBS Kids hosted "Super Grover 2.0 Week" from February 21 to February 25, 2011, airing episodes that contain the segment each day, while the website spotlighted various Super Grover 2.0 clips and games.

Jason Weber of The Jim Henson Company's New York office designed the new outfit.[3] The theme music was composed by Joseph Fiedler.
