To thwart the evil villain, the heroes have to use brain power and math skills. As they travel to fantastical cyber-sites, the kids learn that math is fun, math is about problem-solving, and boy, does it come in handy! © 2009 Rocky Mountain PBS http://www.rmpbs.org/resources/files/programs/100x100/11862.jpg http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862 100 100 (topic: 2- & 3-D Geometry) - Pursued by Hacker, Digit lands on cybersite Eureeka, where his mission is to find Professor Archimedes - the maker of the encryptor chip, a unique computer chip that can fix Motherboard. But Archimedes is nowhere to be found - only a pile of two-dimensional rods where his chip factory should be. The kids arrive to help, and discover that by linking the two-dimensional rods together into certain geometrical patterns they actually create a surprising three-dimensional shape that leads directly to unraveling the mystery of Archimedes' strange disappearance. The Big Idea: When you follow simple rules to make flat geometrical shapes (two- dimensional), and join them together, you can discover new shapes that, instead of staying flat, rise up to make three-dimensional objects. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-113/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-113/rss Fri, 20 Nov 09 16:00:00 -0700 A terrible cyberglitch afflicts the young prince of the Crab Kingdom and the CyberSquad must cure him and stop Hacker before all is lost. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-306/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-306/rss Mon, 23 Nov 09 16:00:00 -0700 Digit is pet-sitting in Golftopia, taking care of Dewey, a lovable Deedle Beast. But suddenly Dewey starts going berserk on his daily walks. What's going on?! The kids arrive to help, but how do you figure out what's wrong with an animal that can't talk? The kids begin to see a pattern in the critter's odd behavior - and the plot thickens when they realize that Hacker has moved in right next door. What is the King of Chaos up to this time? http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-706/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-706/rss Tue, 24 Nov 09 16:00:00 -0700 (topic: Line Graphs) - Something is amiss with the bliss of Sensible Flats. The reservoir is dry. The town is out of water. And the folks who live there are leaving as fast as they can. But why? When the kids and Digit arrive, they use line graphs to reveal the true story of what happened - and all lines lead to Hacker, the newest resident of Sensible Flats. The Big Idea: You can use a line graph to tell a story about how things change, and make predictions. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-117/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-117/rss Wed, 25 Nov 09 16:00:00 -0700 When Wicked casts a spell on the Pompadorians to make them all adore her, Jackie and Digit must reproduce the only symbol that can break it - without being able to see what the symbol looks like. Matt and Inez can't get to Pompadoria to help, so they describe the symbol through their Skwak. But how can they describe the odd-looking spell-breaker accurately so Jackie can make a reproduction that works? http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-707/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-707/rss Thu, 26 Nov 09 16:00:00 -0700 Under the guise of a peace mission, Wicked arrives at Control Central with a handful of bad guys. But someone's up to no good, and steals Motherboard's precious Memory Integrator. Whodunit? Where is it?? And what does it look like??? Digit and the kids must figure out what they know - what they don't know - and what they need to know. Can they do it all before Motherboard's memory is lost forever?

Turns out Hacker is responsible and has spirited the stylists away to his home base. Cyberspace's favorite weathercaster Stormy Gale (Janice Huff) helps the kids discover how to make fog, but to pull off a daring rescue, the kids have to find the elusive dew point at the Northern Frontier on their own. Can they figure it out and make their own fog to get the glam-makers back home safely? http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-701/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-701/rss Mon, 30 Nov 09 16:00:00 -0700 Hacker has crowned himself Emperor of Penguia and deposited the real emperor as a frozen statue in a distant corner of the site. The CyberSquad arrives just as a crippling snowstorm makes its way across Penguia in a path that seems destined to collide with their rescue. Digit uses updates on the storm's progress from cyberweathercaster Stormy Gale (Janice Huff) to help the kids track the storm. Will the kids be able to predict where and when it will hit next - or will the storm stop them from saving the Emperor from a frozen fate? http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-702/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-702/rss Tue, 01 Dec 09 16:00:00 -0700 All is not well in Perfectamundo, a dome-enclosed cybersite, when orange spots are discovered building up on the dome's interior surface, blocking the site's precious sunlight. What source could be responsible for the spots multiplying so fast? Is it Hacker's new factory that pours out orange clouds through smoky stacks? It can't be that new Digifizz toy, with its tiny burst of colorful sparkles shooting into the air each time it gets used. With time running out, the CyberSquad must come to grips with the power of multiplication and use it to undo the site's pollution problem. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-703/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-703/rss Wed, 02 Dec 09 16:00:00 -0700 Hacker pursues a career as a singing idol and goes on tour, leaving behind a book that contains the secret to curing Motherboard's virus, buried in the windiest place on the Northern Frontier. Slider and the CyberSquad are determined to find it...but to do so they must discover how to measure wind speeds in different places so they can compare them.

But in order to keep the secret, they pretend to forget his big day. Disappointed, Digit goes off on his own and runs into Hacker. The vexatious villain is only too happy to take advantage of the situation: If he can convince the dejected Digit that he is his one true friend, he can reprogram the cyboid to gain access to Motherboard! Meanwhile, the kids have a special gift made for their pal-a chocolate "Digit" sculpture. But to get it to the party, they must cross a desert where the heat threatens to melt the sweet treat. By observing how wearing a wet bandana keeps them cool, the kids figure out that evaporation is key to keeping the choco-sculpture from melting. But can they get it to Digit in one piece before Hacker cons him into changing sides? http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-601/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-601/rss Fri, 04 Dec 09 16:00:00 -0700 It's Starlight Night, the annual holiday when all the stars in Cyberspace are refreshed for the new year.

When the kids arrive, they analyze the games of chance, figuring out which games are fair and which ones are not, and use what they learn to find Hacker and beat him at his own game before it's too late! The Big Idea: A game of chance is fair when nobody can tell who will win, but everyone has the same chance of being a winner. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-103/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-103/rss Wed, 09 Dec 09 16:00:00 -0700 While enjoying a little R & R in Solaria, Hacker is delighted to see Wicked, who is also on vacation-but she's not alone! She's partnered with Nug Grommet, the handsome cyber-surfing champion in a dance contest. Turning even greener with jealousy, Hacker enters the contest to prove his superiority. Only there's one small problem-who can he coerce into being his partner? Enter the CyberSquad. Observing Jackie's prowess on the dance floor, Hacker has Buzz and Delete detain Inez, then forces Jackie to teach him the moves and dance with him in exchange for Inez's safe return. As the contest unfolds, it becomes apparent that the judges lack a workable scoring system to decide the winner. Determined to help Inez, Matt joins the judges to find a way to score the contest. And, as Wicked points out, it had better be fair or she will wreak her revenge! Should Matt give Hacker and Jackie a higher score than Wicked and Nug so Inez can go free? Or judge the contest fairly and hope Digit rescues Nezzie in time? http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-608/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/11862-608/rss Thu, 10 Dec 09 16:00:00 -0700
