December 19, 2012 | Media and Technology

Produced by Twin Cities Public Television, St. Paul, MN, and sponsored by the National Science Foundation, SciGirls (SG) is a multimedia project for upper grade-school and middle-school tweens. Weekly half-hour episodes are tied in with web and outreach activities in the fields of science, technology and engineering. Multimedia Research, an independent evaluation group implemented a summative evaluation of the SG Season Two multimedia project. Fifth grade girls (N = 87) viewed three shows over three weeks. They could visit the SG website at any time but were required to visit and play a Pick'm Stick'm game after viewing the third show.
