Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Dino Squad is designed to promote and reinforce cooperation, teamwork, and related interpersonal social skills and positive character development via the portrayal of the actions and experiences of a group of attractive and appearing high school students in the context of highly entertaining and engaging stories. five, highly disparate teenagers, who have been thrown together because they have accidentally acquired the power to morph into dinosaurs, must fend off the efforts of a mad scientist (actually a prehistoric dinosaur in human disguise) who plots to return the world to his own kind...the dinosaurs! If not for the accident, our five teens are not likely ever to have become friends, let alone a close-knit team of secret heroes who must learn to work together in order to save earth and humankind. Their problem is how to stop the plot to return the world to its prehistoric state, while keeping their identity and morphing capabilities secret, getting along with each other, and leading the lives that any "normal" teenager dreams of. They must deal not only with finding a way to keep a mad scientist from mutating earth's present-day animals into new forms of dinosaurs (imagine an earth swarming with chickenasauruses, cockroachasauruses, and sharkasaurauses), while they also struggle with such interpersonal questions as how and why to work with people they do not really understand and confront issues such as sharing credit, using each person's strengths while ignoring weaknesses, and getting along in highly frustrating situations. And this while simultaneously dealing with such intrapersonal issues as the meaning and value of honesty, perseverance, self-confidence and over-confidence, and myriad other challenges so common to young adolescents. Target age range: 9 - 11 years.

Program Title DINO SQUAD (KTVK 3.2)

Total times aired at regularly scheduled time 13
Length of Program 30 mins
Age of Target Child Audience from 9 years to 11 years
Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Dino Squad is designed to promote and reinforce cooperation, teamwork, and related interpersonal social skills and positive character development via the portrayal of the actions and experiences of a group of attractive and appearing high school students in the context of highly entertaining and engaging stories. five, highly disparate teenagers, who have been thrown together because they have accidentally acquired the power to morph into dinosaurs, must fend off the efforts of a mad scientist (actually a prehistoric dinosaur in human disguise) who plots to return the world to his own kind...the dinosaurs! If not for the accident, our five teens are not likely ever to have become friends, let alone a close-knit team of secret heroes who must learn to work together in order to save earth and humankind. Their problem is how to stop the plot to return the world to its prehistoric state, while keeping their identity and morphing capabilities secret, getting along with each other, and leading the lives that any "normal" teenager dreams of. They must deal not only with finding a way to keep a mad scientist from mutating earth's present-day animals into new forms of dinosaurs (imagine an earth swarming with chickenasauruses, cockroachasauruses, and sharkasaurauses), while they also struggle with such interpersonal questions as how and why to work with people they do not really understand and confront issues such as sharing credit, using each person's strengths while ignoring weaknesses, and getting along in highly frustrating situations. And this while simultaneously dealing with such intrapersonal issues as the meaning and value of honesty, perseverance, self-confidence and over-confidence, and myriad other challenges so common to young adolescents. Target age range: 9 - 11 years.
