It is the classic tale of good vs. evil as the
dastardly Hacker attempts to overtake Cyberspace.Yet, he’s continuously outsmarted by three curious kids and one cyberbird pal who are determined to stop him. Join forces with the CyberSquad: Matt, Inez, Jackie and Digit, in their quest to save Cyberspace as they zoom into Cyberchase – The Chase Is On!, an out-of-this-world, math adventure!
Based on CYBERCHASE™, the Emmy award-winning PBS KIDS GO! math mystery cartoon, Cyberchase – TheChase Is On! presents math in a fun, kid-friendly environment, allowing children to make use of their critical thinking skills and approach math with an investigative, positive attitude.
In the exhibit, children will enter
Cyberspace through a special portal to explore
favorite cybersites,
including the
Control Central, the
Grim Wreaker and
Poddleville, and be greeted by Motherboard, the peace-loving leader of Cyberspace.
They will help the CyberSquad protect the virtual universe from the
evil Hacker while exploring math concepts such as place value, algebra,
geometry, fractions and probability.
Throughout the exhibit's adventurous plots,
children will not only "do" math, but will be able
to experience it firsthand through the many activities and the interactive components. Plus,
kids can hang out with Digit as he makes special appearances throughout the exhibit. Check the calendar for Digit appearance times.
