The Voyage of the Mimi and The Second Voyage of the Mimi are groundbreaking programs created by The Bank Street College of Education. They were among the first multimedia materials to use interactive technologies in an inquiry-based, integrated approach to teaching and learning for the middle grades, with an emphasis on science and mathematics. They consist of video, software, and print materials, including lesson plans, hands-on activities, and student-directed and collaborative projects.''''The 13 video episodes of The Voyage of the Mimi take students and teachers on a scientific expedition to study whales. The 12 video episodes of The Second Voyage tell the story of archaeologists in search of a lost Mayan city. The videos consist of dramatic episodes paired with a related documentary-style "expeditions." The dramatic episodes present an exciting, reality-based adventure/drama. The expeditions visit real places to witness scientists at work, expanding on the science and math themes introduced in context in the dramatic episodes.''''''Welcome to the Voyage of the Mimi guide at TV.com.''''Show History''''PBS - 1984 & 1988 - Various Times''''''The Christopher W.

Sometimes it sucks, but it's usually okay. Course, it'll always be better than Neighbours! How can anyone watch that? It should be shot down.

Sometimes it sucks, but it's usually okay. Course, it'll always be better than Neighbours! How can anyone watch that? It should be shot down. Anyway, The Voyage of the Mimi, it's weird at times, and usually quite unbelieveable, and sometimes everything is just too perfect, but it's cool as it is. Oh, and i'd NEVER EVER want to live there. Beach views and death on every corner!

This adventure/science series features a young Ben Affleck (yes, that Ben Affleck!) as a boy who is sort of abandoned with his grandfather for the summer. The old man is a gruff ship's captain in charge of a group of misfit teens set to do oceanographic/whale research for this same period of time. All of these people are unknown to one another at the beginning of the summer, but by the end of the series and it's time for school to begin, they have learned a lot about the natural world and forged some very strong friendships. The young boy and his grandfather become extremely close.
Although it's geared toward 5th-6th graders, the series is interesting to all age groups; my son found it compelling at the age of 4 when the series first aired in 1984. I found it to be positive and very interesting; even I learned so much by watching this show. I would love to see it return to the air!
