George Washington Williams was the first African-American elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in 1880. In addition, he was a respected soldier, preacher, lawyer, and champion of human rights. This biographical documentary shares his inspiring story.

Helping students learn math and science is the goal of this new multimedia project. The workings of the blimp will provide the framework for teachers to facilitate the application of concepts needed to prepare for Ohio's proficiency test. The video series follows two high school students, Rob and Lindsey, trying to win college scholarships. The two team up and decide to create a documentary about how blimps are made and how they work. Each video is a lesson starter that leads to hands-on CD-ROM, DVD and Web site activities.

The series is designed to help elementary teachers to prepare themselves and their students for the Fourth-Grade Proficiency Test. The goal of the programs is to help meet the objectives and provide well-guided, philosophically sound procedures to follow that will enable students to learn actively and make sound decisions.

Make: is the DIY series for a new generation! It celebrates “Makers” - the inventors, artists, geeks and just plain everyday folks who mix new and old technology to create new-fangled marvels. The series encourages everyone to invent, revent, recycle, upcycle, and act up. Based on the popular Make magazine, each half-hour episode inspires millions to think, create, and, well, make.
