But in these groundbreaking episodes, the real-life SciGirls and their mentors tackle their STEM adventures primarily in Spanish, honoring their Mexican, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Guatemalan, Argentinian, Colombian, Ecuadoran and Salvadoran heritage. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;SciGirls has spent over a decade addressing a challenging reality: girls face greater obstacles to STEM success than their male peers,&#8221; said SciGirls episode director <span class=\"xn-person\">Maria Agui Carter<\/span>. &#8220;These barriers are even greater for young Latinas. SciGirls fourth season, with its Spanish-first, culturally responsive approach, is nothing short of groundbreaking.&#8221; SciGirls&#8217; Director of Cultural Competency, <span class=\"xn-person\">Alicia Santiago<\/span>, echoes Agui Carter: &#8220;Our research underscores that girls must see STEM role models who mirror their heritage and experiences. In partnership with Latinx educators, parents and community leaders, SciGirls selected exceptional Hispanic female STEM professionals to inspire and empower this season&#8217;s girls\u2014in a language and style that feels uniquely theirs.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Michael Fernandez<\/span>, Vice President of Marketing for Vme Media added: &#8220;We are very excited to be partnering with TPT to bring SciGirls to VmeTV.
