Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. MYSTERY HUNTERS is an excellent example of a children's program that is innovative and empowering. The show is hosted by teenagers Araya and Christina, who travel to locations around the globe to investigate mysteries such as the existence of Bigfoot, vampires, mind control, the Bermuda Triangle and witches. Providing more of a scientific answer to the mysteries and questions presented on the show is Doubting Dave, who conducts experiments related to the shows topics and answers questions sent in by viewers. Through critical observation, analytical thinking, and scientific testing, the series encourages children to question the world around them. Through both the travel aspect and investigation of ancient myths and mysteries, there is a profound focus on history, culture, geography, and international customs. Viewers are encouraged to watch the show with an open mind because, as Araya and Christina usually remind viewers at the end of episodes, things aren't always what they seem.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. MYSTERY HUNTERS is an excellent example of a children's program that is innovative and empowering. The show is hosted by teenagers Araya and Christina, who travel to locations around the globe to investigate mysteries such as the existence of Bigfoot, vampires, mind control, the Bermuda Triangle and witches. Providing more of a scientific answer to the mysteries and questions presented on the show is Doubting Dave, who conducts experiments related to the shows topics and answers questions sent in by viewers. Through critical observation, analytical thinking, and scientific testing, the series encourages children to question the world around them. Through both the travel aspect and investigation of ancient myths and mysteries, there is a profound focus on history, culture, geography, and international customs. Viewers are encouraged to watch the show with an open mind because, as Araya and Christina usually remind viewers at the end of episodes, things aren't always what they seem.
