PREVIOUS PROJECTS FROM THE TEAM
The creative team behind the WORLD CLASS INITIATIVE has been developing media and interactive projects for over 25 years, both individually and together. Here is a small sampling of some of their work:

Newton's Apple was an educational television program on PBS
that ran for fifteen seasons from 1983 to 1998. Targeted at
younger viewers, it was highly regarded for its ability to
present science in a fun and entertaining format. |
DragonflyTV presents real-life science investigations: "real
kids doing real science". Against a pop-music soundtrack,
children tell about their investigations, communicating the
infectious excitement that comes with making their own discoveries. |

A three CD-ROM interactive, adventure-science series, “What’s
the Secret?” was based on the national, Emmy Award-winning
PBS Science Series, “Newton’s Apple”. |
The Science Museum of Minnesota is known worldwide for its
interactive exhibits, dynamic traveling exhibitions, and internationally
distributed large format films. |
