More about "Design Squad"
Premiering on PBS in October 2009, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning series "Design Squad" returns for its third season with a fresh cast of college-aged contestants eager to take on design challenges that task their creative reserves! "Design Squad" is high-energy, high-drama reality TV that lets kids show off their smarts as they design and build working solutions for real-world clients-people who are hungry for clever ideas from a new generation of innovators. From creating remote-controlled flying football targets for Hasbro to dry land dog sleds for the Jamaica Dog Sled Team, the action culminates in the final episode when the top two scorers battle for the grand prize: a $10,000 college scholarship from the Intel Foundation. Major funding for "Design Squad" is provided by the National Science Foundation (grant EEC 08-10996).
