SciGirls has the bold goal of changing how millions of girls think about science, technology, engineering and math - or STEM. Each half-hour episode highlights the processes of science and engineering, following a different group of middle school girls who design, with the help of scientist mentors, their own inquiry-based investigations on a variety of topics. They also learn how rewarding and fun it is to work with their peers, and the shows' female mentors offer girls a glimpse of exciting STEM career possibilities. SciGirls educational materials provide gender-equitable teaching strategies and hands-on inquiries based on the concepts modeled in SciGirls' videos. Included in this collection: Video (240), Document (59) for Grades 3-5, 6-8, 9-12 , Resources in Spanish (276).

A collection of STEM activities and experiments with a summer camp theme that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Five "camps" were created - Sports Camp, STEAM Camp, Space Camp, Outdoors Camp, and Animal Camp - each with unique activities in topics like sports and games, art, rockets and space, outdoors and weather, and animals. Included with each camp document is information on different STEM-related careers. Each activity includes a materials list, instructions, reflection question, and a fun fact, tip, or extension.
Imagine something small enough to float on a particle of dust that holds the keys to understanding cancer, virology, and genetics. Luckily for us, such a thing exists in the form of trillions upon trillions of human, lab-grown cells called HeLa. But where did we get these cells? Robin Bulleri tells the story of Henrietta Lacks, a woman whose DNA led to countless cures, patents, and discoveries. [4:26]

The financial security that comes with wealth accumulation requires an understanding of the time value of money. Students begin this module with a lesson on opportunity cost, the most fundamental consideration in any personal financial decision. Students move on to a lesson on interest where they will recognize the importance of interest in sheltering them from the higher cost of living they are certain to experience in later years. The increase in their future costs will be due to inflation, the third subject they will encounter in this program. Students will use their knowledge of opportunity cost, interest and inflation to determine the future value of investments they may make as young adults and the present value of a sum of money they hope to have at a later date.
