Finding Stuff Out Nominated for a 2012 Banff Rockie Award!
Montreal , April 10th 2012 – Apartment 11 Productions is pleased to announce that FINDING STUFF OUT has been nominated for a 2012 Banff World Media Festival Rockie Award in the Children Programs (2+) – Non-Fiction category for the MOON episode.
Finding Stuff Out is a lively science-oriented series which, instead of imposing adult notions on kids about what they should know, gives them what they want: answers to the questions that matter to them the most! Using demonstrations, eye-catching videos, playful animations, and science experts, host Harrison will chase down the answers, informing and entertaining the audience along the way.
In the MOON episode, Harrison investigates intriguing facts about the moon, like why people think wolves howl at the moon (they don’t), whether the moon really turns people into werewolves, who the first men on the moon were and why the moon appears to follow us. Viewers at home test out their jumping skills as Harrison demonstrates where we’d be without gravity!
Winners will be announced in June at the Banff World Media Festival.
Finding Stuff Out airs Fridays at 5:30pm and Saturdays at 9:30am ET on TVO.
