Fringe Unveils Science Sites
Fringe
If your kids start asking about shape-shifters and alternate universes, don't be too scared. They may just be soaking in the Science of Fringe (fox.com/fringe/fringe-science), a joint effort between Fox and the nonprofit Science Olympiad group (recently honored by President Obama) to develop lesson plans for schools based on Dr. Walter Bishop's wildest — but fact-based — cases.
"Everything we do is grounded in some version of authentic fringe science and what scientists believe is possible," says exec producer Jeff Pinkner, who's thrilled to be a part of "anything that can help invest kids in learning."
And for you grown-ups looking to get your mind blown, check out Fringe 101 (fox.com/fringe/101), a series of Web primers on the show's mythology that are as educational as they are addictive. Who knew learning could be so fun? Or freaky!
