Make it Awesome
Make It Awesome is an educational children's program developed by ON Networks. In each episode science expert Blake and his young friends embark on a new project, such as creating a giant ice cube or a periscope.
The activities are described in step-by-step detail so viewers can recreate them at home. The hosts explain the scientific processes behind the project and its method, making each episode educational and fun.
Once the basic project is realized, the team sets about making it "awesome." For example, the giant ice cube can be used to make a cooling drink holder, or a motorized ice cube boat to cool a wading pool.
The presenters use a narrative structure and humorous dialogue to make the educational messages interesting for a young viewing audience.
Each episode is filmed in high-definition video, to ensure the quality is excellent even when viewing in full-screen mode.
Browsers can sort the videos according to their date of release, number of comments, and popularity.
Once fans choose a clip from the video menu they are taken to a new screen with a large player. The player's controls allow users to stop and play the video, adjust its volume, and view it in full screen mode.
Links underneath the playing screen allow fans to easily embed the video into their personal website, or send the videos to friends. Below this there is a video synopsis which gives details about what topic is covered in each clip.
Other episodes in the same series are shown to the right of the player, allowing fans to easily navigate around the site. Below this episode guide are subscribe links, which allow fans to receive alerts when new Make it Awesome videos are added.
Videos are free for anyone to watch, however additional features including the ability to leave comments are available to users who register for a free subscription.
