TRADING SPACES: BOYS VS. GIRLS is where 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. Each week a boy or a girl is given two days and $5000 dollars to complete a renovation of their partners room. The space might be a bedroom, a recreation room, or a clubhouse; but the designer has to first show his or her knowledge of the other persons preferences, hobbies and lifestyle to come up with a good design. Next, the challenge of balancing the budget and figuring out the renovation process begins. Participants learn measurement, spatial reasoning, and principles of aesthetic design as they go through the experience. In the end, they find out if their knowledge and perception of their partner was on or off base.

DARCYS WILD LIFE follows the life of 15-year-old Darcy Fields, the pampered daughter of a top Hollywood movie star who is plucked out of a life of limos, movie premieres and world-class restaurants to live the simple life in rural Idaho. Darcys 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 as she adjusts 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. The viewer also learns about the care and treatment of a variety of animals that live on farms or in the wild.

FLIGHT 29 DOWN is the name of the small, chartered plane that carries a group of 11 people across the South Pacific for an eco-camping class trip to a desert island in Micronesia. Before they reach their destination, 29 DWN malfunctions and the pilot/camp counselor has to make an emergency crash landing on a remote island 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, with 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 themselves and their roles in a social group, while dealing with the harsh reality that faces them.
