Team Umizoomi is a computer-animated series on Nick Jr. It is located in the center of Umi City, a colorful city where the streets are paved with origami. Team Umizoomi is made up of Milli, Geo, and Bot, who solve everyday problems with their Mighty Math Powers in order to keep Umi City running smoothly.

Preschoolers join these mini and mighty superheroes as their "Umifriend" to solve problems presented in the episodes. It first aired on January 25, 2010, and was renewed for a second season which was released in October 2010.

  • Milli

An 9 year old girl (voiced by Sophia Fox and later, Madeleine Rose Yen) who dererhas abilities related to math skills, specifically patterns and measuring. She can change her dress to any pattern and can then project that pattern by singing "Pattern Power". Milli is usually the one to interact with the child viewing the show when it is necessary to complete the next element in a pattern in order to accomplish something. Her ponytails can be used to measure things, which is initiated by singing "Milli-Measure".

  • Geo

Milli's 10 year old brother (voiced by Ethan Kempner), who zooms everywhere on his Super Skates. He also has abilities related to math skills, specifically shapes. Geo wears a shape belt and can create anything by assembling shapes and then singing "Super Shapes". Often, when Team Umizoomi is stuck and needs some type of vehicle to assist them, Geo will figure out what they need, and present a blueprint for the thing that needs to be built, and then interact with the child viewing the show to figure out which shapes are needed to fill in the blue-print.

  • Bot

A loving 30 year old robot friend (voiced by Donovan Patton) who loves to sing and dance and has a fun-loving, childlike personality. His abilities are more functional than math-related. His arms and legs can be extended to reach things, by saying "Arms Extendo" or "Legs Extendo". He has a small receiver (like a satellite dish) on his head to receive calls (called the Umi Alarm). He also has a screen on the front (called a "Belly Belly Belly Screen» stylized as «Belly Belly, Belly Screen!") that they can view videos/pictures on as well as have a video call with someone who needs their help. He also has a storage compartment on the back of his body, called a Bot-o-mat, which frequently is carrying whatever the team happens to need. In each episode, he is introduced, usually by Milli, as their "Best Robot Friend."

  • Umi Car

The team's beloved little orange car who drives the team wherever help is needed.

  • Doormouse

The security of Umi City and villain of Team Umizoomi. He always says that a key is needed.
