Super Scientist

Biologist Caitlin O'Connell-Rodwell (click to see the short and fascinating talk) has come to one big conclusion from her last twenty years studying elephants -- they're just like us. In this TEDYouth Talk, O'Connell-Rodwell details her work observing these incredible, social animals, examining several individual (and very familiar) characters that play, bond and argue in tight-knit extended families eerily similar to our own.

Wind (Girl) Power

The Girls got to experiment with wind power, circuits and renewable energy. Using small wind turbines, circuit boards and multimeters we got from Vernier the girls were able to create and measure energy, test out blade designs and measure the effects of wind speed. The girls had a lot of fun with their experiments and learned a lot too.

Chatter pix

The girls studied contemporary women scientists, mathmaticians, engineers. They learned about women like  mathmatician Maryam Mirzakhani, Natalie Jeremijenko, architect Zaha Hadid and others. Then the girls used an app called Chatter Pix to create these animated clips, the girls made all the artwork for the Chatter Pix and recorded the voices. Note: they even made the drawings of their woman as a super hero.
