PBS Seeks Engineer Co-Host for "Design Squad" Engineering Reality TV

Anyone want to be a TV personality? IEEE has put this TV show together.
Maybe ASME should do the same thing...or partner with them on a multi-discipline project.

***
WGBH Boston is seeking two co-hosts for "Design Squad," the working
title for a new PBS engineering reality TV program aimed at 9- to
12-year-olds, which will begin shooting this summer in Boston. During
the program, two teams of real-life high-school youngsters (not actors)
compete using their problem-solving skills to design, construct and test
functional, whimsical machines. The engineer co-host must have an
engineering degree or basic engineering education; a "natural and
spontaneous nature"; and be comfortable in a learning/teaching
environment with teens, as well as in front of a camera. For more
information on applying, go to http://boldfish.ieee.org:80/u/2303/8179.
