ZOOM is PBS's award-winning daily interactive television series and 3,000 page Web site. The site challenges young kids to spend less time in front of the television screen and more time in front of the computer screen -- learning, growing, and interacting with their peers. Behind each entertaining half hour PBS episode is a curriculum developed by leading educators and advisors. ZOOM's multi-disciplinary format encourages viewers to take an active approach to learning, promotes the flow of their creativity, and advises them to never underestimate the importance of questioning. Already home to hundreds of ZOOM activities such as science experiments, recipes, trivia, games, and viewer submissions (Z-mail), the site has added new features, including ZOOM Into Action, an updated cast area, ZOOM music, a virtual tour of the television control room, and instructions to over 85 new activities from the show.
