Synopsis
Longtime "Mythbusters" co-host Adam Savage returns to the small screen as host and executive producer of this "junior" addition of the franchise. The 10-episode series sees Savage team up with six kids, all under the age of 16, who get a chance to show their ingenuity and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) skills. Together, they explore whether a functioning parachute can be made out of waterproof tape, they build a fire extinguisher jetpack, and they test many other myths just like those seen on the original series. Also featured are design and engineering experts Tamara Robertson, who appeared in "MythBusters: The Search" and "SciJinks," and Jon Marcu, a special effects technician who has worked on numerous television and film productions.Cast
