On January 20th, as a leading TV new media platform in China, BesTV under Oriental Pearl New Media officially launched STEAM's characteristic children's popular science education animation program - "Inspiration Adventure". From now on, every Monday to Sunday at 16:00, the program will be broadcast on Major Platforms such as BesTV IPTV, Internet TV, and BesTV TV App.
Fill the gap in popular science STEAM animation
Inspiration Adventure is a STEAM feature animation film that targets children aged 5-10. The first season currently airs with 28 episodes, each lasting 12 minutes. It is expected that in 2022, BesTV will launch three seasons of animation with a total of 90 episodes.
The first season of the anime involves nearly 20 knowledge points, covering optics, mechanics, architecture and so on. Each episode blends stories and scientific knowledge to make children understand that scientific inventions are in life and that creation is not out of reach.
In the animation, the protagonist Eddie will ask questions and get inspired by observation and thinking. In addition to the animation, children learn about scientific principles in a relaxed atmosphere of edutainment. "Inspiration Adventure" allows children to establish the fun of thinking of "finding problems, using their brains, and finding answers" from an early age in the process of watching animation, which can be said to be the enlightenment class of scientific literacy.
BesTV, the producer of "Inspiration Adventure", said: "For more than a decade, BesTV has been committed to creating a large-screen children's content system, but popular science STEAM animation is still the first time. In the scene of watching cartoons, we must subtly plant the first seeds of science in the young minds of children. ”
STEAM education is on the rise
STEAM education represents the current international educational trend in the context of a new comprehensive discipline, and is a supra-disciplinary education concept that emphasizes practice. Domestic STEAM education is more inclined to older children, but from the Ministry of Education issued the "3-6 years old children's learning and development guidelines" can be seen that kindergarten education is not about the output of knowledge, more is the children's perception, practical operation and personal experience.
In April 2021, the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Assignments in Compulsory Education Schools, which made the prohibition of retention of assignments an important part of the daily supervision of off-campus training institutions, and effectively avoided "reducing the burden on the school and increasing the burden outside the school". Under the "double subtraction", family education should liberate children from single book learning, so that children can play scientifically, have fun, and play enough.
The scientific knowledge, educational significance and fun in "Inspiration Adventure" meet these needs, allowing children to learn knowledge and improve their abilities in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The joint participation of parents has also enhanced the parent-child relationship.
In order to create this high-quality children's animation for children, BesTV deeply studied the essence of children's STEAM enlightenment education, integrated the STEAM concept into family education, let interest become the best teacher for children, and let little Eddie become children's inspiration partners.
In the future, BesTV will carry out in-depth IP comprehensive operations, develop supporting teaching aids and launch e-commerce platforms such as BesTV TV and B+ Mall, so that children can "watch and do" to deepen their understanding of knowledge. Related books and other peripheral products will also be developed one by one to create a complete STEAM education industry chain, truly reassuring parents and making children happy.
