Poster - SciGirls: Citizen SciGirls Transmedia and Research to Encourage Girls in STEM

March 4, 2016 | Media and Technology, Public Programs

This poster was presented at the 2016 Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) PI Meeting held in Bethesda, MD on February 29-March 2. The third season of the national PBS series, SciGirls, is the first national children’s television series and website designed to engage and educate millions of children about citizen science. In each half-hour episode, a female mentor guides a group of ethnically diverse middle school girls as they learn about citizen science protocols and collect and share data for an established citizen science project. In addition to the videos, the SciGirls website presents two interactive games that link the video episodes with citizen science field experience.
