By exploring social media, emotions, and motivation through a scientific lens, we aim to empower girls to build awareness, understanding and acceptance of emotions when dealing with life’s challenges. How do I manage cyberbullying? Why is it so hard to control my emotions? What can I do to stay motivated? These and other issues may be impacting girls today and we will address each during this program series. By learning about the science behind human behavior, girls will gain a better understanding of self and others which will help improve their emotional wellness.
During this 3-part series, Junior, Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador girls log into a Netflix account and join a Teleparty to simultaneously watch the show Brainchild with other attendees and react in real time via chat. Then, they join a Zoom session in which staff and/or Subject Matter Experts address the topics raised in each episode: Social Media, Emotions, and Motivation. ABOUT THE BUNDLE: By registering for the Girl Emotional Wellbeing Program: Bundle, participants save $5 and are automatically registered for all three sessions for the price of two. (No need to register or pay for individual sessions.)
ABOUT THE CONTENT: During the Zoom discussion, topics of a sensitive nature may come up, so it is necessary for the girl’s caregiver to sign the GSGLA Sensitive Issues Form prior to taking part in the program. This form will be sent to registrants via email after processing registration.
ABOUT THE SHOW: Brainchild is a Netflix series executive produced by Grammy-winning artist, Pharrell Williams that uses interactive games, experiments, and skits to push the core concepts and principles of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) to its viewers at home. Educators around the country developed a curriculum that complements the topics introduced by the show which also features a female host, Indian-American actor and comedian Sahana Srinivasan.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM SERIES: While we recommend attending all three parts, it is not required. Each program session covers a distinct topic. Therefore, girls also have the option of registering for individual programs, though the bundle provides the best value.
TECH REQUIREMENTS: computer, Netflix subscription/TelePartyapp, and Google Chrome.
