The SciGirls site and series, sponsored by PBS, encourages girls to become more interested in and aware of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This site offers girls the opportunity to create their own STEM profiles, through which they can upload and share posts about STEM related activities, questions, or current events. They also receive newsletters and information about upcoming events in their areas. There are also helpful teacher links and suggestions for integrating STEM activities into the classroom, with options to select specific grade levels for optimal compliance with standards. This is a fun and educational way to get students interested in STEM, particularly females, since there is currently such a high social concern for young girls in these areas.
