Cyberchase is a children's television show on PBS Kids GO!, produced by Thirteen/WNET New York and Nelvana. This television series premiered January 21, 2002, although the episode "The Poddleville Case" was shown as a pilot on WNET in 2000. This show is for children ages 7 to 11.

Opening Theme: We got the power of 1...2...3...4! Running in a Cyberchase....

The show stars three Earth children, Matt, Jackie, and Inez, and a bird-like cyborg called Digit who is a species of bird called a cyboid. The three kids and Digit have various adventures to stop the evil deeds of the Hacker and his two cyborg henchmen, Buzz and Delete.

The series takes place in Cyberspace, with planetlike bodies called "Cybersites." Each cybersite is inhabited by "Cyborgs", the virtual inhabitants of Cyberspace. Some are based on real-world places, such as ancient Egypt and the American Old West, or fantasy worlds, such as mythological Greece. The guardian of all Cyberspace is Motherboard; her repairman is Dr. Marbles.

In the premiere episode, "Lost My Marbles", Hacker infects Motherboard with a computer virus. At a library on Earth, while looking at a library computer, Matt, Jackie, and Inez are sucked into a dimensional portal to Cyberspace. Their first adventure involves going to an island to rescue Dr. Marbles. In subsequent adventures, they return to Cyberspace and strive to defeat Hacker in his evil plans, which alternate from those focusing on ruining Motherboard to those on a smaller scale in which he tries to take over a Cybersite.

Cyberchase "For Real"

Each CyberChase episode is followed by "Cyberchase for Real", a live-action educational supplement linking concepts learned in the show to real life experiences. The actors are in their twenties, but act in a manner similar to the children in the target audience, providing a source of amusement for anyone in or above the target age. "For Real" is produced by WNET on location in and around New York City after production is completed on the animated segments. These "For Real" segments are broadcast exclusively on PBS in the United States where the program runs longer (since public television does not intersperse commercials during its shows). "For Real" segments can also be viewed at Cyberchase Online.
