9725610 Burns WNET正在为9至11岁的儿童制作和评估一个多媒体数学教育项目的试点阶段。这个项目的核心将是一部通过美国公共广播公司（PBS）在全国播出的动画电视连续剧。在每周的节目中，一组年轻的角色将被吸引到电脑中，成为在当代主题公园或古埃及沙漠等不同地点执行有趣任务的主角。面对邪恶的对手，年轻的英雄们用数学来克服他们旅行和冒险过程中的挑战。在每一集的最后，观众将被邀请用数学来解决一个悬念。该系列节目将得到与合作的公共电视台和三个国家伙伴进行的有针对性的全国宣传运动的支持。辅助材料将包括一个交互式互联网站点和印刷材料，包括一本杂志，上面有活动、谜题、问题和漫画。该项目的PI将由WNET副总裁兼教育资源中心主任Ruth Ann Burns担任。两位关键的数学内容主管将是现任康涅狄格州教育部顾问的Mari Muri和PBS Mathline K-12项目主任Carey加强。儿童电视工作室的Joel Schneider将担任首席内容顾问。该剧的制作人将是Kristin Martin，她最近担任了《魔法校车》的首席制作人。Edward Kaskt是一位电脑动画师，在儿童电视工作室、Nickelodeon、ABC、NBC、CBS和HBO拥有丰富的经验，他将担任该剧的创意总监。

9725610 Burns WNET is producing and evaluating the pilot phase of a multi-media mathematics education project for children aged nine to eleven. The centerpiece of the project will be an animated television series for national broadcast via PBS. In each of the weekly programs, a team of young characters would be drawn into a computer and become protagonists on intriguing missions in locations as varied as a contemporary theme park or the deserts of ancient Egypt. Facing an evil adversary, the young heroes use mathematics to overcome challenges in the course of their travels and adventures. At the end of each episode viewers will be invited to use mathematics to solve a cliffhanger. The series will be supported by a targeted national outreach campaign with cooperating public television stations and three national partners. Ancillary material will consist of an interactive Internet site and print materials including a magazine with activities, puzzles, problems, and comics. The PI for the project will be Ruth Ann Burns, Vice President and Director of Educational Resources Center at WNET. The two key Math Content Directors will be Mari Muri, currently an advisor to the Connecticut State Department of Education, and Carey Bolster, Director of the PBS Mathline K-12 projects. Joel Schneider of Children's Television Workshop will be the Lead Content Advisor. The Series Producer will be Kristin Martin who has most recently served as Lead Producer for The Magic School Bus. Edward Kaskt, a computer animator with extensive experience with Children's Television Workshop, Nickelodeon, ABC, NBC, CBS, and HBO will be the series' Creative Director.
