Summary[]
WGBH brings ZOOM back to PBS to give a new generation of a chance to explore, experiment, and share their creativity with the world. Like the original series, the ZOOM pilot features a cast of seven ZOOMers who dance, sing, build bridges, solve puzzles, play games, and tell jokes. Every idea and activity on the pilot come from ZOOMers who are credited on-air for their contributions. What's new about ZOOM is an enhanced educational focus and an outreach campaign that makes use of new communication technologies, include e-mail, home video, and websites. The pilot is being broadcast to get ZOOMers to send in their ideas which will in turn fuel the production of the ZOOM series - 40 half-hour daily programs to air on PBS's Ready to Learn lineup.
