FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman, Season Five

由WGBH制作的《拉夫·鲁夫曼的FETCH》是美国公共广播公司（PBS）每天播出半小时的电视系列节目，配有针对6至10岁儿童的网络和推广活动。该节目以独特的方式将真人秀与动画、游戏节目与现实节目、幽默与学术结合在一起，为幼儿带来科学学习。新一季的预期影响是：1)帮助目标受众，尤其是女孩和少数民族，培养科学研究所需的兴趣、知识和技能；2)帮助孩子发展解决科学和工程问题所需的数学技能和知识；3)将FETCH独特的非正式科学学习品牌带到全国各地的营地。申请的资金将允许该项目扩充科学课程，增加20集半小时的新剧集，并扩展网站，重点关注三个新的科学主题，突出这个年龄组的兴趣主题：“动物宇宙”、“艺术科学”和“冒险科学”。该网站将包括四个新的基于科学的网络游戏，这些游戏将允许孩子们创建和发布他们自己设计的内容，并与其他FETCH粉丝在线互动。此外，资金将支持新的教育资源的营地，包括一个营地FETCH指南。该项目将继续与现有的合作伙伴合作，如男孩女孩俱乐部、美国女童子军和基督教青年会，并通过与约翰霍普金斯大学暑期学习中心和美国夏令营协会建立新的合作伙伴关系，扩大推广范围。Christine Andrews Paulsen & Associates （CAPA）将对电视节目和Camp FETCH指南进行总结性评估。

FETCH with Ruff Ruffman, produced by WGBH, is a daily half-hour PBS television series with accompanying Web and outreach activities targeted to 6- to 10-year olds. The program brings science learning to young children by uniquely blending live-action with animation, game show convention with reality programming, and humor with academics. The intended impacts of this new season are to 1) help the target audience, especially girls and minorities, develop an interest, knowledge and skills necessary to do science; 2) help kids develop the math skills and knowledge necessary to solve science and engineering problems; and 3) bring FETCH's unique brand of informal science learning to camps across the country. The requested funds will allow the project to expand the science curriculum with 20 new half-hour episodes and expand the Web site, focusing on three new science themes that highlight topics of interest to this age group: "Animal Universe," "Science of Art," and "Adventure Science." The Web site will include four new science-based Web games that will allow kids to create and post content of their own design and interact with other FETCH fans online. In addition, funds will support new educational resources for camps, including a Camp FETCH Guide. The project will continue to work with the project's established collaborators like the Boys and Girls Clubs, Girl Scouts of America, and YMCA, as well expand the outreach via new partnerships with the Center for Summer Learning at Johns Hopkins University and the American Camp Association. Christine Andrews Paulsen & Associates (CAPA) will conduct summative evaluation of both the television show and the Camp FETCH Guide.
