TVS Series Premier: Enquiring Minds
Enquiring Minds is an inspirational new series premiering on Television Sydney (TVS) Digital 44, 7.30 pm, on Tuesday, 26 March 2013.
The 11-part Enquiring Minds series sees young students explain what their interests are – animals, robots, computer games – and links them with an academic in the field who explains how to turn that hobby into a career.
The series will feature a range of interesting topics that will awaken children’s curiosity and broaden their knowledge. Experts will welcome and share their experiences with the viewers as they embark on a little adventure in each episode. The series will also be complemented with curriculum linked teacher lesson plans and resources, an online game and a website that maps the path through university to reach all the exciting careers!
