Giveaway: PBS SciGirls

The second season of the SciGirls TV series begins airing this month on PBS (check local listsings)!  Or you can watch SciGirls online, anytime, at  http://pbskids.org/scigirls. Ten new episodes showcase bright, curious, real girls using science, technology, engineering and math in their everyday lives. They design an underwater robot, engineer a “chill” ice-cream-making bike, apply real forensic methods to solving a mysterious crime, and more!  Animated characters Izzie and Jake are back, getting into jams that can only be solved by the real-life SciGirls.

In Season Two, there’s even more of the unique combination of TV and web that won the series a Daytime Emmy for “New Approaches” in its premiere season. Every episode of the TV show features onscreen clues that lead girls to a “mash-up” game on the website, where they can create their own, unique SciGirls stories. Plus, in other new interactive games, kids can search for underwater treasure, care for a colony of honey bees, and design wildlife dioramas.
 
SciGirls’ sophomore season will empower girls – and their parents and educators – to tap into the collaboration, exploration, and authentic discovery.  Every girl can be a SciGirl!
 
I have the chance to give away a SciGirls t-shirt to one lucky reader. To enter, leave a comment by October 26th with your favorite at-home science or math activity.
