STEM, Friendship, and Girl Power Unite
STEM is for everyone--especially girls who love to stand out! In Nerd Girl News, science-loving Lucie launches her very own STEM broadcast to make science fun, approachable, and cool.

When a boring science teacher almost ruins her favorite subject, Lucie turns her basement into a science studio--armed with a lab coat, Wi-Fi, and her two best friends. Along the way, she tackles chemistry experiments, codes digital games, builds robots, defends the planet, and shows that girls belong front and center in science.

This vibrant middle grade series is packed with real STEM facts, fun activities, and girl-powered adventures. Perfect for fans of STEM books for girls and middle grade STEM books, Nerd Girl News is an inspiring and empowering read for curious kids everywhere.

Inside, you'll find:

• Fun experiments, activities, and challenges to try at home
