This fall, kids will get wrapped up in mummy madness when Tutenstein, a witty new 13-part animated series, premieres on Discovery Kids on NBC. When 10-year-old Pharaoh Tut-ankh-en-set-Amun (meaning “The Living Image of the Place of Amun,” and nicknamed Tutenstein) awakens from the dead in present-day, he still thinks he rules over all he surveys. Smelly bandages, portals to the underworld and serious entitlement issues abound in Tut’s funny, wild and sometimes-scary adventures, which are derived from real Egyptology, to engage kids’ minds while tickling their funny bones.

Boys and girls get to show how well they know each other, how effectively they can manage a budget, and how skillfully they can execute a design plan in Trading Spaces: Boys vs. Girls. Each week a boy or girl will be given two days and $5000 dollars to complete a renovation of their partner’s “room.” The space might be a bedroom, a recreation room, or a club house, but the “designer” has to show his or her knowledge of the other person’s preferences, hobbies, and lifestyle to come up with a good design. Then, the challenge of balancing the budget and figuring out the renovation process begins. Participants will learn measurement, spatial reasoning, and principles of aesthetic design as they go through the experience. In the end, they will find out if their knowledge and perception of their partner was on or off base.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming
STRANGE DAYS AT BLAKE HOLSEY HIGH focuses on a group of five young teens who are students at a very unusual boarding school. Strange phenomena happen at the school, and our kids are members of a science club that decides, with the help of their professor, to figure it all out. The initiator of many of their investigative processes is the newest student to the school, Josie Trent. In exploring the larger mystery of why the phenomena occur, our kids also deal with issues relating to their socio-emotional development. The educational goal of the program is to embed scientific content in a narrative story with strong socio-emotional messages. In each episode, one of the main characters models a learning process that relates to their social competence. Each episode also explores science content that relates to resolving an immediate problem or some aspect of the larger mystery. Specific objectives are to expose the audience to content about the physical sciences, such as black holes, worm holes, vortexes, gravity, electricity, satellite transmissions and radio frequencies. Through the characters’ experiments, the audience is exposed to the scientific method, hypothesis testing and analysis of data. Other objectives are to model the development of group cohesion, teamwork, and social competence within the group and between the group and other significant people in their lives.

SCOUT’S SAFARI follows the development of 14-year-old Scout Lauer, whose divorced parents have to quickly move Scout from her father’s home in New York City to her mother’s home on a game reserve in South Africa. The overarching goal of the series is for our main character, Scout, to model a learning process for the audience that charts her socio-emotional growth as she adjusts to a completely new life in South Africa. By the end of each episode, Scout will have moved from one level of knowledge to a higher level of knowledge or insight. Specific objectives are to show how Scout makes a good transition into her blended family with a stepfather and new brother, makes new friends in a completely different system, understands different religious and cultural belief systems, and defines a place for herself where she feels secure and confident about her future. As the first children’s show actually filmed on location in an African animal reserve, “Scout’s Safari” will expose the audience to factually accurate content about threats to the natural environment and preserving animal species in their natural habitats.

SKUNKED TV is a program taped in a Florida animal park that catches unsuspecting visitors in a practical joke. While the park visitors are engaged in learning about the animal, the practical joke is being recorded by a hidden camera. At the start of each segment, the host or narrator provides the audience with background information about the featured animal. When the host’s attention is turned to a park visitor, the visitor is asked to do something with the animal that demonstrates the animal fact. When the animal or situation turns out to be more than the visitor can handle, the practical joke is revealed and the visitor is informed of the hidden camera. At the end of each segment, the animal fact is reinforced.
