I took a visit (online of course) to watch an educational show called ‘Jina and the STEM sisters’. The show involved a little puppet named Jina. We followed her through a forest where she encountered several different empowering women through the ages. I think the message was wonderful as the aim of the STEM Sisters project is to inspire young people, especially girls to engage with and hopefully pursue an interest in STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
Puppetry was how the characters were portrayed in the story with a different range of puppetry skills, beautifully acted by Ruth Calkin and Nix Wood, that at times had me completely immersed in the characters and with the realistic movements, bringing the objects to life, which I found fascinating.
