Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. This program will air on the secondary digital stream, 53.2. The New Adventures of Nanoboy is an action comedy about a boy who transforms into the world's smallest superhero to fight microscopic villains in the micro-cosmos, the tiny world of cells, molecules and atoms. Each episode takes place in two worlds: In the human world Oscar tries to live the life of a normal 9-year-old, always keeping his identity as Nanoboy a secret, Oscar solves conflicts like peer pressure, and exam stress. In the micro-cosmos, Oscar/Nanoboy encounters deranged proteins and Amazonian amoebas, and with the help of his Nano team reforms a flu virus and a goofy brain cell. In resolving these crimes in the micro-world, Nanoboy encounters solutions that he can bring back to solve human world problems. Through observation, viewers gain the motivation to use learning, knowledge, and action to transform themselves to meet challenges in their own lives.
