DESIGN SQUAD
This NEW series aimed at 9 – 12 year-olds, but
equally appealing to adults, borrows from the reality competition format,
intending to get viewers excited about engineering. In 13 episodes, two teams of high school students design,
build and test machines and innovative products for real clients.
Guided by two engineer hosts, the teams are scored for their ability to
think outside the box and meet or surpass the demands of the challenge. The two
top scorers battle for the grand prize: a $10,000 college scholarship from the
Intel Foundation.

DISCOUNTED DREAMS: High Hopes and Harsh Realities at America’s
Community Colleges. Community
colleges educate nurses, law enforcement officers and computer technicians. They
are the gateway to the American dream for millions of citizens, new and old.
Important as they are, they are also seriously flawed. One problem is chronic
under-funding. And the “open door” admissions policy is too often a
revolving door, with barely 30 percent of students ever earning a degree or
certificate or successfully transferring to a four-year institution. Resolving
these problems is essential, not only for those directly involved but also for
the American future
May 24 Thursday, 8:00PM THE 2007 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SPELLING BEE returns for
the 19th year with host Alex Trebek.
Students representing 50 states compete at school and state levels with
ten finalists, grades four though eight, moving on to the final championship.
The ten finalists will compete for $50,000 in scholarship prizes,
answering questions spanning meteorology, international affairs, culture and
history.
May 27 Monday,
7:00 PM NATIONAL

in the Pacific in World War II. The film follows the veterans and their families
as they made the journey to Washington, DC, for their final reunion at the
dedication of the National World War II Memorial in May 2004. Through archival
footage, period music and dramatic first-person accounts, the film follows Air
Group 16 as they tell their stories, remember their fallen comrades and accept
official honors from the country they served
