I watch Make TV on Saturday Morning TV. I catch it at 11:30am . I'd also mention "On the Spot", "Better Planet TV", and "The Henry Ford Innovation Nation TV" (hosted by Mo Rocoa)
More than anything else, it restores my faith in young people. (especially when I hear all they want to do is
sit before their dressing mirror taking selfies to post on FB or they are embedded in the basement living on their Game Console wasting their lives away)
It's one of my weekly delights. Especially when I see less affluent kids taking discarded or broken items and repurposing them into innovative applications that the original designers may be slapping their heads wondering how they didn't see that possibility. One of the more unique things that the Henry Ford Innovation Nation program does is to take a few minutes at the end of the show to review a few of the "big words" that were used. It is a great way to welcome vocabulary expansion and use of language into the kids awareness. They should realize that words are "instrument's" and their use in conjunction with "things" can give a greater scope to the meaning of the "item" for the public.
It's one thing to invent from scratch, but to find new uses for the same "thing" with only a few modifications
can be just as rewarding. It is also a very affordable way for young inventors to get started. And that provides a prime opportunity for young people to learn to write technical directions for the use of their repurposed item as there would be no instructions for it in existence without their writing them.
