ICE CREAM SCIENCE

<< ! > A SCIENCE TV Anytime Program < ! >>

This is a pitch site to launch a REVOLUTION IN SCIENCE!!!

WHY? | BOOKS | SHOW | WEB | MERCH | CONTACT

Enter the Cosmic, Fuzzy world of little girl scientist VIOLET RAY and join her Astounding Adventures in this Dimension and Beyond!

In Violet Ray's world every quirky character is an actual piece of real science which means the more you know about a character in the show the more you learn about real science!

OUR MISSION

At Science 4 Girls we are committed to developing the following properties serving an 8-12 yr/old audience;

• A DVD series built on 22-minute episodes, balancing science and entertainment

• An online portal for young scientists with interactive games and adventures

• A product line that makes science captivating

• Real Science Adventures: Series of Kid's Books

It's never a typical day in VIOLET RAY's Pink Lab where Anything Can Happen.... and usually does!

The S4G! PRODUCT LINE!!

As long as there's Science, there are infinite product ideas for Science 4 Girls!

Our initial ideas infuse Violet Ray’s vision for the future stylin’ scientist with Designer Lab Fashions, Fun Scientific Active Wear and Exciting Interactive Toys!

WHY?

The ways science has been taught relies heavily on the male-influenced, non-emotive approach. Rational and emotional thinking are not mutually exclusive, as many Women Scientists continue to prove. Jane Goodall's work is revolutionary because she "didn't subscribe to the scientific thinking of the time." (1) Instead, she incorporated EMOTION into her work and the result changed the way the world views primates.

WHY NOW?

SCIENCE 4 GIRLS! imaginative, emotional scientific inquiry will connect with those who (2) traditional science education has not touched.(3) Violet Ray and her lab creations teach science basics through their adventures, acting out how scientific inquiry works. Violet Ray often discusses her work with real women scientists, which leads to credible scientific hilarity when the scientists interact with the characters. In our first episode, Ruzena Bajcsy (4), an expert on robotics, artificial intelligence and machine perception, advises Violet Ray on how to solve the cranky behavior of her robot, Cat Ion.

FOR WHOM?

SCIENCE 4 GIRLS! aims to tip the scales of the prejudice against female contribution to Science. One recent study proves such bias continues to exist. A neuroscientist at the University of
Wisconsin sent more than 230 curricula vitae to randomly selected professors who were asked to evaluate the candidate as a job applicant. "The CVs were identical in every respect but one: Half were sent by 'Karen Miller' and half by 'Brian Miller.' Fewer than half the professors would hire Karen; Brian was endorsed by two-thirds."Although seventeen women were elected to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences in 2003, the member population remains 92.3 percent male. In order to bolster membership in our nation’s Academy of Sciences, astronomer Vera Rubin, (a member since 1981 for her work that lead to the discovery of dark matter) “calculates that 24 women would need to be in every class of those elected for women to make up one-quarter of the academy’s membership by the year 2030.”

Instead of combating this inequality, SCIENCE 4 GIRLS! becomes the forum for women scientists’ imaginative work. Like how Former NSF Director Rita Colwell combined her degrees of Bacteriology, Genetics and Oceanography to imagine a simple filtration method to purify water. Using the material women make saris with, her team removed 99% of the cholera bacteria--and reduced cholera by 50%. Says Colwell: "To put all of this together, which is fundamental research, and to have a practical outcome, is the greatest reward to any scientist."

It’s time for the world to see women as integral in science. It’s time for the female eye to influence scientific vision. It’s time for SCIENCE 4 GIRLS!

EXAMPLE:

TO PLUTO AND BEYOND!
Violet Ray decides to bring Cat Ion and
Ann Ion to the 4th Dimension with her
to teach them about the solar system.
But once they get to Pluto, Cat Ion gets
mad and disappears. When Violet Ray
and Ann Ion get to the edge of the solar
system, they find a big surprise! It’s just
the beginning!

How does the show work?
