This day I love.......

My husband and I both have backgrounds in engineering.  Having studied engineering and worked in the field for a brief period I feel very passionately about encouraging females to take an interest in the field.  I love understanding why things work, taking them to pieces to reassemble them and I find it much easier to work logically and with numbers than anything else.  When a TV show is developed to encourage children, in particular girls, to take an interested in engineering and science I am very intrigued to watch and find out more.
The girls love to watch Project MC 2.  For those who have not seen Project MC 2, it is a team of six super-smart and seriously cool girls who use their love of science and spy skills to undertake missions for top-secret organisation, NOV8™ (pronounced 'innovate').  


Project MC 2 is a Netflix original and was launched in August 2015.  In addition it launched its own geek-chic fashion doll line and accessories based on S.T.E.A.M,with an aim to encourage girls that science and technology can be fun.


This Valentine's day Netflix released Part 4 of Project MC 2, all new episodes ready for us to watch over half term.  The girls are really excited and cannot wait to watch the new episode, they are certain it will be as good as the others.  If the trailer is anything to go by they are not wrong.

In addition to the new release, Project MC 2 also are releasing a new range of dolls.  Based on the characters from the show the dolls also each come with science experiments to do at home.  Ranging from glowing ear rings to glitter tattoos!  The girls cannot wait to see what experiment their doll will have.



I love how excited both girls are to watch the new episodes and to have a try at a science experiment!  I shall keep you updated on twitter as to how we get on!

I am waiting on the mentioned doll in exchange for this post.

Last Friday we took part in a Blaze and the machines twitter party.  This twitter party was unlike one we had done before.  Our party box arrived and it contained lots of scientific and engineering experiments.  I was really excited, the engineer in me wanted to play.

The girls were very excited too.

The girls and their friends sat down to do a blaze and the machine maze whilst I got the TV ready to watch the first episode.

We of course needed some snacks to watch our first episode with so we made our very own chocolate cars.  The tongue of concentration came out for these.  They did not last very long

Just long enough for us to race them

After watching Blaze and the machines on Nick Jr we were very excited to build our own cars.  It was such a fun activity.  We got to think about the build and design our cars.  It was a lot of fun and after we had built them we all began to race them

As well as engineering activities we also had maths.  Counting and sorting.  We made activities for all the different ages at our party

lots of buttons

Science was the next order of the day, and we began to look at what objects float and which sink.  This was a favourite with my youngest, she loves water.  She took great pride it testing each object and even tried herself.

Our final activity came from Great Gizmos who provided us with some great 4M scientific experiments..

Everyone loved making the lemon clock.

Our Blaze and the machines twitter party was a lot of fun, all our guests had a great time.  We would like to say thank you to Ukmums.tv, Nick Jr and Great gizmos for hosting a great twitter party.
