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.
