Our first season included 12 episodes on a variety of topics. You can watch the shows online at http://pbskidsgo.org/scigirls

Please be in touch if you have questions. We have are beginning to receive feedback on the season, including data on which topics are popular with girls, as well as our formal research.

Good Morning Everyone,
 
I am part of a team currently working on the early development of a
"girl-friendly" exhibit project and we're wondering if there are any
existing exhibits out there that we can learn from.  Our exhibit will be
focused on engineering, but we'd like to hear about exhibits on any
topic targeted at girls.  We've found lots of interesting programming to
look at, but not much in the exhibit world.  If you know of any
girl-focused exhibits, I'd love to hear from you.  Feel free to contact
me off-list at:

Best,
