SciGirls

Each episode depicts the STEM-themed activities of a group of middle-school girls, including engineering a miniature wind farm, creating a turtle habitat, designing an electronic dress, and more.

Additionally, women scientists and engineers mentor the girls, demonstrating that interest in STEM subjects can lead to a rewarding lifelong pursuit. The series is unified by two animated characters, Izzie (voiced by Lara Jill Miller) and Jake (voiced by Greg Cipes), who emphasize how science and technology can help solve problems in everyday life.

These characters also appear on the series website, integrated into the TV episodes.

• Izzie (voiced by Lara Jill Miller) is a 12-year-old girl with a constantly expanding assortment of interests. She also acts as the webmaster for the SciGirls website, which hosts a database of science videos following real-life SciGirls. This resource often comes in handy, because whenever Izzie encounters a tricky situation, she can zap herself into her computer and follow along with the girls' investigations. Afterward, she is easily able to design a solution to her dilemma.
• Jake (voiced by Greg Cipes) has known Izzie since they were in preschool and has remained her closest friend. He usually meets up with Izzie at school, online, or around the town. Jake finds himself drawn into Izzie's scientific situations more often than not.{{Cite web|title=SciGirls - Meet the Characters|url=https://www.pbslearningmedia.org/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100302060722/https://www.pbs.org/teachers/scigirls/characters/|archive-date=2010-03-02|website=pbs.org}}
• Fang, Jake's pet mouse, can often be found helping Jake and Izzie on their STEM-filled adventures.

Alongside Izzie and Jake, each episode features a group of real girls (not actors) working alongside a woman STEM professional.

The show aired on PBS Kids Go! from 2010 until 2013. After Go! was shut down, it then aired on its sister channel PBS Kids from April 16, 2015 to June 23, 2023.

As of 2025, the series is able to stream on Amazon Prime Video.

Five episodes ("Star Power," "Super Sensors," "SkyGirls," "Escuadron Espacial/Space Squad" and "Dakota Stars") are available through NASA+.{{Cite web |date=2023-08-29 |title=Sci-Girls {{!}} NASA+ |url=https://plus.nasa.gov/series/sci-girls/ |access-date=2025-06-14 |language=en-US}}
