"SciGirls" TV series encourages girls to succeed in STEM


The magic of life unfolds, but for adolescents Mimi, Izzie and Quinn, watching a monarch butterfly emerge from its cocoon and spread its wings is more than a fascinating moment. Cameras are rolling! With support from the National Science Foundation, Richard Hudson and his team at Twin Cities Public Television are putting middle school girls in front of a national audience on the PBS series "SciGirls." This is the first television science series designed specifically for girls, ages 8-12, to inspire and empower them to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
