SciGirls, produced by Twin Cities Public Television, is a new PBS 13-part half-hour television series with accompanying Web and outreach activities targeted to girls ages 8 - 13-year olds. The intended impacts are to 1) to foster a greater interest in STEM among girls ages 8 to 13 and their parents, with girls from diverse communities the highest priority; 2) connect girls to existing, quality STEM education opportunities in their communities; and 3) contribute to the growing body of research to deepen understanding of the most effective ways to engage girls in STEM activities and encourage them to pursue STEM careers. The project?s two strategic partners are the National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP) in Seattle, and The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. The NGCP will link SciGirls TV with its network of 500 community-based science programs for girls, and The Franklin Institute will help form an affiliate network of science museums to implement SciGirls TV outreach activities. In addition to the broadcasts on PBS Plus, the videos will be distributed via online streaming and DVD?s, as well as via versions that can be downloaded to portable video players. The most significant web component will be a social networking feature that will allow girls interested in science to connect with others across the nation. Barbara Flagg of Multimedia Research will conduct formative evaluation of the first rough cuts, and a subsequent summative evaluation of the completed programs and of the social networking web site.

由双城公共电视台制作的《SciGirls》是美国公共广播公司（PBS）新推出的13集半小时电视系列节目，其中包括针对8 - 13岁女孩的网络和推广活动。预期的影响是：1)培养8至13岁女孩及其父母对STEM的更大兴趣，来自不同社区的女孩是最优先考虑的；2)将女孩与所在社区现有的优质STEM教育机会联系起来；3)促进越来越多的研究，以加深对让女孩参与STEM活动并鼓励她们追求STEM职业的最有效方式的理解。这个项目吗?她的两个战略合作伙伴是西雅图的全国女童合作项目（NGCP）和费城的富兰克林研究所。NGCP将把scigirstv与其500个以社区为基础的女孩科学项目网络连接起来，富兰克林研究所将帮助建立一个科学博物馆的附属网络，以实施scigirstv的推广活动。除了在PBS Plus上播放外，这些视频还将通过在线流媒体和DVD分发。以及可以下载到便携式视频播放器的版本。最重要的网络组成部分将是一个社交网络功能，它将允许对科学感兴趣的女孩与全国各地的其他人联系。多媒体研究中心的芭芭拉·弗拉格将对最初的粗略剪辑进行形成性评估，随后对完成的节目和社交网站进行总结性评估。
