Thirteen/WNET New York requests funds to develop and produce five new Cyberchase episodes, a multi-media Summer Challenge math initiative, plus serialized Web games and an online Cartoon Maker to involve kids in active, creative mathematical thinking. Now in its seventh production season and sixth year of daily PBS broadcast, Cyberchase has helped millions of children acquire a stronger foundation in mathematics. Cyberchase's content spans the 3rd-5th grade standards of the National Council of Mathematics, and targets children aged 8-11. The series goals include: 1) reinforce mathematical knowledge especially during the summer months; 2) expand opportunities for kids' involvement with Cyberchase math activities; 3) and inspire all children to approach math with enthusiasm and confidence. Ancillary materials, outreach, and a highly popular Web site extend the learning and help make Cyberchase the sole mathematics media project available for the target age group. The new season will build on the successful format to model effective problem-solving processes, expand the math-rich Web site and bring Cyberchase to today's new-media platforms to prompt children to do math. Season 8 will especially target the summer, when children's TV viewing goes up, informal educators provide special offerings, and children, especially the under-served, are at risk of losing math growth made during the school year. The Summer Challenge will create a first-ever math summer campaign for PBS Kids. Cyberchase is watched by four million viewers each week. The audience is 40% minority and includes equal numbers of girls and boys. Cyberchase Online receives 1.9 visits a month. The project summative evaluation will study the outcomes and impact on (a) the target-age children (conducted by Multimedia Research) as well as (b) 8 PBS stations and local partners, culminating in a white paper on best practices for presenting informal STEM education in the summer (conducted by RMC Research). Season 8 initiatives will strengthen existing partnerships and forge new collaborations. Existing partnerships include museums, 50 chapters of Girls Inc., National Engineers Week Foundation, PBS stations, Sally Ride Science, Ernst & Young, and new partners MANA (a national Latina organization) and the Girl Scouts.

13/WNET纽约要求资金开发和制作五个新的网络追逐集，一个多媒体夏季挑战数学倡议，加上系列化的网络游戏和一个在线卡通制造商，让孩子们参与积极的，创造性的数学思维。 现在，在其第七个生产季节和每日PBS广播的第六年，Cyberchase已经帮助数百万儿童获得了更坚实的数学基础。 Cyberchase的内容涵盖了国家数学理事会的3 - 5年级标准，针对8-11岁的儿童。 系列目标包括：1）加强数学知识，特别是在夏季; 2）扩大孩子们参与Cyberchase数学活动的机会; 3）激发所有孩子以热情和信心接近数学。 辅助材料，外展，和一个非常受欢迎的网站扩展了学习，并帮助使网络追逐唯一的数学媒体项目提供给目标年龄组。 新一季将以成功的模式为基础，建立有效解决问题的过程，扩大数学丰富的网站，并将Cyberchase带到今天的新媒体平台上，以促使孩子们做数学。第八季将特别针对夏季，当孩子们的电视收视率上升时，非正式的教育工作者提供特殊的产品，孩子们，特别是服务不足的孩子，有可能失去在学年中取得的数学进步。 夏季挑战赛将为PBS儿童创造有史以来第一个数学夏季活动。 每周有400万观众观看网络追逐。 40%的观众是少数民族，包括同等数量的女孩和男孩。Cyberchase Online每月的访问量为1.9次。 该项目的总结性评估将研究成果和对（a）目标年龄儿童（由多媒体研究所进行）以及（B）8个公共广播电台和当地合作伙伴的影响，最终形成一份关于夏季非正式STEM教育最佳做法的白色文件（由RMC研究所进行）。 第八季的举措将加强现有的合作伙伴关系，并建立新的合作。 现有的合作伙伴关系包括博物馆、女孩公司的50个分会，国家工程师周基金会，PBS电台，萨利莱德科学，安永，和新的合作伙伴MANA（一个国家拉丁美洲组织）和女童子军。
