Twin Cities PBS’ fifth season of “SciGirls” has been nominated for a national Daytime Emmy award for Outstanding Educational or Informational Series.
“SciGirls” is a national PBS series featuring girls exploring science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM. The fifth season focuses on coding and computer science, according to a TPT news release.
The season’s five episodes had the girls (who are not actors), team up with adult STEM professionals to track urban wildlife, “paint” with music, explore Florida’s ocean life, animate, communicate and create — all by using computer coding.
All of the series’ outreach content is available in English and Spanish on SciGirls educators’ website at scigirlsconnect.org. The 48th Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards will be presented at a date to be determined with virtual ceremonies.
