Traveling Exhibit: Cyberchase—The Chase Is On!
Based on the award-winning PBS KIDS GO! math and mystery cartoon CYBERCHASE, Cyberchase— The Chase Is On! invites children to join the CyberSquad on an action packed adventure to thwart Hacker, the TV show’s nefarious villain, using math and reasoning skills just like Matt, Jackie, Inez and Digit! The exhibit presents math in an engaging, visually rich environment, allowing visitors to make use of their critical thinking skills and approach math with an investigative, positive attitude. 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.
