Sci-Squad

KCTS正在制作面向8 - 10岁儿童的全国性每周科学教育电视连续剧《科学小队》。该系列的13个半小时节目将展示一群孩子，即科学小组，他们通过询问和合作来寻求科学问题的解决方案。这个团队由年轻的女电脑专家Howzit领导。通过第一手实验、上网、实地研究和访问现实世界的科学家，团队合作调查每个科学主题。每个角色都以不同的科学探究模式为模型，以寻找团队在每个节目开始时收到的问题。观看节目的青少年将被鼓励跟随科学小组，并将受到观察、衡量、批判性思考、分析结果和设计进一步实验的挑战。支持观众科学活动的外联材料包括青少年探索者指南、家长指南和教师指南。还将与科学和青年服务组织合作，如美国男孩和女孩俱乐部、家庭数学、GEMS、社区科学联系、国家科学教师协会、国家PTA，以及针对西班牙裔人口的ASPIRA和La Raza全国理事会。Quest Productions的总裁Bill Jersey将担任资深制片人、导演和联合项目总监。皮埃尔·瓦莱特（Pierre Valette）是该项目的创造者和联合项目主任，他是Quest Productions的纪录片制片人和作家，之前是WGBH儿童节目的副制片人。伊丽莎白·布洛克将担任KCTS的生产主管。高级科学顾问是Ted Ansbacher，他曾担任纽约科学馆展览主任和芝加哥科学博物馆教育主任/高级科学家。

9725381 Jersey KCTS is producing Sci-Squad, a national weekly science education television series for children ages 8 to 10. The thirteen half-hour programs in the series will show a team of kids, the Sci-Squad, who use inquire and collaboration to seek the solution to a science problem. The team is led by Howzit, a young woman computer whiz. Working cooperatively the team investigates each scientific subject through a combination of first-hand experimentation, Internet surfing, field research, and visits to real-world scientists. Each of the characters models a different mode of science inquiry in search to a question the team receives at the beginning of each program. Youth who view the programs will be encouraged to follow along with the Sci-Squad and will be challenged to observe, measure, think critically, analyze results, and devise further experiments. Outreach materials to support science activities by viewers include an Explorer's Guide for youth, a Parents Guide, and a Guide for Teachers. There also will be collaborations with science and youth serving organizations such as Boys & Girls Club of America, Family Math, GEMS, Science Linkages in the Community, the National Science Teachers Association, the National PTA, and, for the Hispanic population, ASPIRA and the National Council of La Raza. Bill Jersey, President of Quest Productions, will be the Senior Producer, Director, and Co-Project Director. The creator of the project and Co-Project Director is Pierre Valette, a producer and writer of documentaries for Quest Productions and previously an Associate Producer in Children's Programming at WGBH. Elizabeth Brock will be the Executive-in-Charge of Production for KCTS. The Senior Science Consultant is Ted Ansbacher who previously was Director of Exhibits at the New York Hall of Science and Director of Education/Senior Scientist at The Chicago Museum of Science.
