Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education: ZOOMsci Club (ZOOM Season V)

ZOOM儿童电视系列节目每周向540多万儿童播放，向观众传授科学过程，并提供科学和数学内容。 外展材料和活动为观众提供了探索、实验和分享创造力的机会。 WGBH要求在总预算3 977 936美元中拨款1 303 776美元，为ZOOM系列制作20个新节目。 还将有一个新的ZOOM活动，ZOOMsci俱乐部，这将提供一个独特的方式，让孩子们加深他们的科学和数学知识，同时从事ZOOM的动手活动。 该运动包括：新的电视节目，新的印刷材料和推广活动，以及ZOOM网站的一个新区域，其中包括一个在线论坛，供孩子们分享他们的实验结果。ZOOM被PBS选为第一个儿童“地方/国家”节目。 PBS的这一举措利用了当地公共电视台的优势，并为电视台提供了定制ZOOM以满足当地市场需求的机会。 这些电视台可以制作和插入一些片段，以荣誉当地孩子的志愿活动，并以当地孩子回答问题为特色。 电台还可以本地化外展活动，制作自己的本地ZOOM网站，并发起ZOOM Into Action活动，以激励孩子们成为志愿者。

The ZOOM children's television series, which reaches over 5.4 million children each week, teaches viewers the scientific processes as well as delivering science and mathematics content. The outreach materials and activities provide viewers with opportunities to explore, experiment and share their creativity. WGBH is requesting $1,303,776 of a total budget of $3,977,936 to produce 20 new shows for the ZOOM series. There also will be a new ZOOM campaign, the ZOOMsci Club, which will provide a unique way for kids to deepen their science and math knowledge while engaged in ZOOM's hands-on activities. The campaign includes: the new television programs, new print materials and outreach activities, and a new area of the ZOOM website that includes an on-line forum for kids to share results of their experimentation. ZOOM has been chosen by PBS as the first children's "local/national" show. This PBS initiative capitalizes on the strength of local public television stations and provides the opportunity for stations to customize ZOOM to serve the needs of their local markets. The stations can produce and insert segments that honor local kids for their volunteer activities and feature local kids answering questions. Stations also can localize outreach activities, producing their own local ZOOM websites and launching ZOOM Into Action campaigns to motivate kids to volunteer.
