WHAT'S UP IN FINANCE (GR. 7-12, TEACHERS)

WHAT'S UP IN FINANCE?, a half-hour reality show hosted by Kwame Jackson (from season one of The Apprentice), features teens and twenty-somethings using their money smarts -- and the help of finance professionals -- to work toward financial independence.

In segment one, "Moving Out," Eddie Romero, a junior college student and aspiring musician, figures out how to plan for his financial future after moving into his own apartment. "Green Chic" showcases up-and-coming fashion designer Anna Cohen of Portland, Oregon, and her efforts to keep her start-up company -- and her dream of ecologically-friendly fashion -- afloat financially. "The Dealmakers" follows two teams of students from Nashville, Tennessee, as they compete in a simulation of a multi-billion dollar business deal.

Produced by Thirteen WNET New York and distributed by American Public Television.

P.A.C.E. TREK (GR. 1-12, TEACHERS)

One man pushing a jogging stroller of gear will attempt a 61 0-mile solo run across the state of Montana during the Spring of 2008. Paul Staso accomplished a 3,260-mile solo run across the United States in 2006 to keep a promise to elementary children in Missoula, Montana. Now he's returning to the road in order to encourage more kids to be active and fit.
