THE NEXT KID GENIUS Welcome to the world of flying cars, hover boards and holographic 3-D images. Science and technology have accelerated dramatically, and continues to grow and forge new paths in shaping and developing the world around us. We are at an age of scientific marvels, where nothing imagined is unattainable. The Next Genius is an original, scripted series that focuses on young and innovative children, hosted by a charismatic child genius about to embark on a journey to the future. The host will take the young viewers on a fun and exciting trip to some of the biggest and most prestigious science fairs and meet the best and brightest of the young science aficionados. We will talk to them about what sparked their ideas, how they went about creating their exhibitions, and what they hope to accomplish in the future. We also venture inside the “Kitchen Laboratories” of these young adventurers to learn fun and innovative ways to conduct scientific experiments and projects that we can teach the young viewers to do right at home, using objects found in most ordinary kitchens. This is a show that encourages children to learn, hypothesize and create. Each week will feature a different science fair and different young pioneer who will discuss and demonstrate the individual project he or she has been working on and also showcasing some simple, complementary science projects that viewers can re-create at home. Some of the top fair winners and the kitchen science experiments would include: Episode 1: Not A Good Day For Umbrellas Science Fair Project: How Weather Works - The power of the wind can even be strong enough to power large wind turbines to make electricity! In this experiment, find out how you can make your own instrument to measure the speed and power of the wind.
