World famous professional mermaid and children's ocean education and swim safety advocate Linden Wolbert is asking the public to join her in making fun ocean "edutainment" available to all children around the globe for free. The funds raised will be used to make season two of the Mermaid Minute web series available exclusively on YouTube, with subtitling in several languages. Each episode will be paired with an educational supplement, made available on Linden's website as a PDF download, perfect for parents and teachers to provide to child viewers at home or in the classroom.
Linden explains,"After debuting season one of Mermaid Minute in 2012, we saw an overwhelming response from teachers, parents and kids writing us from all over the world with requests for more episodes and desired subjects to be covered about our oceans in the next series. Since the initial release, video hits have grown and channel subscriptions have skyrocketed. This means there is demand for ocean-specific educational programming and together with the public's help, season two is possible in several languages, with educational supplements to enhance children's learning experiences."
Mermaid Linden's work and the Mermaid Minute series have been featured on 20/20, The Today Show, Hallmark Home and Family, Univision, Huffington Post, Yahoo!, BuzzFeed, New York Magazine, Latin Times, UK Daily Mail and more - in over 15 languages around the world.
Mermaid Linden's Mermaid Minute Kickstarter campaign ends on Thursday, July 17th. If the goal of $25,000 is reached, kids, parents and teachers around the world are in for a treat. If minimum goal is not met, however, no finding goes toward the project.
In addition to providing season two once the project reaches its $25K goal, Mermaid Linden is offering her "sea fans" and backers an array of exclusive rewards and experiences. Rewards include underwater photographs or videos of Mermaid Linden thanking backers personally for their contribution, live mermaid appearances at your special event, child's birthday party or even a live school appearance. Hand-made pearl jewelry, executive producer credits and much more await those who are teaming up with Mermaid Linden to make season two happen.
