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.

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.

DARCY’S WILD LIFE follows the life of 15-year-old Darcy Fields, the pampered daughter of a top Hollywood movie-star who was plucked out of a life of limos, movie-premiers and world class restaurants to live a “no frills” life in rural Idaho. Darcy’s initial resentment gives way to optimism as she makes new friends and becomes a part of the community. The educational goal of the program is for the main character, Darcy, to model the learning process in adjusting to a new environment that is the complete antithesis of her old life. Darcy comes to a deeper understanding of herself, the value of relationships, and the insignificance of material things. This occurs as she adjusts to her new surroundings and a new group of friends who have totally different perspectives on life. Specific objectives are to show Darcy, with her Hollywood mentality, navigating her way through life on a farm and relating to people who have a different outlook on life. The viewer will also learn about the care and treatment of a variety of animals that live on farms or in the wild.

Tut-en-stein is an animated show featuring the resurrected mummy of an Egyptian boy-king.

Before they can join the rest of the class for their eco-camping adventure, 29 DWN malfunctions and the pilot/camp counselor has to make an emergency crash landing on a remote island somewhere in the South Pacific. With nothing but their camping gear, a limited supply of resources, and each other, the group tries to come to grips with the situation that challenges them through intelligence and instinct. As they confront the false perceptions they have of themselves and one another, the group realizes that they must learn how to live and work together in order to survive. The show carries a powerful social-emotional message that draws upon the complexities of human behavior and social relationships in which adolescents struggle to define their roles in a social group while learning how to cooperate with one another as they grapple with the challenges that force them to gain awareness of themselves and the harsh reality that faces them.
