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 (NSF), 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 to 12, to inspire and empower them to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
