WGBH Educational Foundation is requesting funds to produce 20 new shows and new outreach and Web activities for "ZOOM," which will be renamed "Hot Seat." "Hot Seat" is a daily half-hour PBS television series targeted to kids ages 8 to 11. Uniquely by and for kids, the program gives its viewers a chance to explore, to experiment and to share their creativity. The series, along with its far-reaching outreach, offers its audience an innovative curriculum that promotes the acquisition of basic math and science knowledge and the development of problem solving skills called "Habits of Mind." The intended impacts are to: (1) establish a project that uniquely integrates television, the Web and outreach as a model for how media can teach science and math; (2) engage kids and teach them science and math content and process skills; (3) provide curriculum and professional development to organizational partners. Innovation includes developing three new content areas for the series -- Invention, Space Science and Earth Science -- and evolving the project design by incorporating new production techniques that enhance the "reality factor" of the science programming. Outreach for the project will include printed materials for kids, families and educators. A new collaborative partnership is being developed with the American Library Association to help distribute the new afterschool curricula to librarians across the country. "Hot Seat" will support the existing network of "ZOOM" outreach partners and convert the museum "ZOOMzones" to "Hot Seat Spots." "ZOOM" currently is carried by 269 public broadcasting stations and is viewed by 4 million children each week.

WGBH教育基金会正在请求资金为“ZOOM”制作20个新节目以及新的外展和网络活动，该节目将更名为“Hot Seat”。“热座位”是一个每天半小时的PBS电视连续剧，针对8至11岁的孩子。 该节目专为儿童制作，为观众提供了探索、实验和分享创造力的机会。 该系列，沿着其深远的影响，为观众提供了一个创新的课程，促进获得基本的数学和科学知识和发展解决问题的技能称为“习惯的心态。“预期的影响是：（1）建立一个项目，独特地整合电视，网络和外展作为媒体如何教授科学和数学的模式;（2）吸引孩子，教他们科学和数学内容和过程技能;（3）为组织合作伙伴提供课程和专业发展。 创新包括为该系列开发三个新内容领域--发明、空间科学和地球科学--并通过融入新的制作技术来改进项目设计，以增强科学节目的“现实因素”。 该项目的外联活动将包括为儿童、家庭和教育工作者提供印刷材料。 正在与美国图书馆协会建立新的合作伙伴关系，以帮助向全国各地的图书馆员分发新的课外课程。 “热座位”将支持现有的“ZOOM”外展合作伙伴网络，并将博物馆“ZOOMzones”转换为“热座位点”。““ZOOM”目前由269个公共广播电台播放，每周有400万儿童收看。
