Cyberchase is the award-winning math mystery cartoon on PBS KIDS GO! that features a team of curious kids-Jackie, Matt, Inez, and their cyberbird pal Digit-who use math and problem solving to outwit and outsmart the dastardly villain Hacker in their adventurous quest to save Cyberspace. Each episode ends with a live-action "For Real"Â segment, hosted by Harry and Bianca, two young comedic characters who explore the show's math topic in the real world.
Museum guests are also invited to enter the Cyberchase exhibit through a special portal and use their reasoning and problem-solving skills in the exhibit's colorful cybersites including Control Central, Hacker's Grim Wreaker, Poddeville, and others.
Cyberchase airs daily on more than 300 public television stations and digital channels in all 50 states and is seen weekly by more than 5 million viewers. Cyberchase online has had more than 1.5 billion page views, engaging kids in math-based interactive games, crafts, and activities. -- www.strongmuseum.org
