INNOVATION ONLINE, at www.pbs.org/wnet/innovation, enhances and builds upon the themes explored in the broadcast series and related topics. Take a virtual tour of Shanghai 101, which could soon become the tallest building in the world, or learn how to assemble a bionic leg. Ever thought about becoming a spy? Take the Could You Be a Spy? quiz and see if you have the right stuff. Learn how tools of weaponry evolved from sticks and stones to surveillance aircraft that fly themselves. Read special reports and original essays, and then vote for your favorite innovation from the past 100 years. Or, play video clips featuring recording artist Moby, physicist Michio Kaku, robotics professor Cynthia Breazeal, and others describing their personal sparks of innovation. And if all this innovation leaves you hungry for more, follow the links to a wealth of additional resources or submit your questions to the Ask the Experts area, where scholars, scientists and others in the know will respond to your queries. The INNOVATION broadcast series, narrated by Billy Crudup, spotlights technological advances in aircraft design, the emerging field of stem cells and regenerative medicine, espionage, bionics, fiber optics, skyscrapers, weaponry, and lie detection. The series premiered on Tuesday, February 10 on PBS. Local broadcast schedules can be found at INNOVATION ONLINE along with details on INNOVATION outreach events taking place at science centers and museums across the country. There is also an area for teachers offering lesson plans for project-based learning, as well as a downloadable version of the 36-page Sparks of Innovation magazine.
