McKeyla McAlister and her friends, Adrienne Attoms, Bryden Bandweth, and Camryn Coyle are all about the science! McKeyla, who is described as a "writer, hipster, and undercover spy" enjoys science, writing, and reading (especially Sir Arhur Conan Doyle). Each character/12" doll in the Project MC2 Netflix/Toy series includes a scientific experiment that uses easy-to-find kitchen ingredients to demonstrate important basic scientific concepts (e.g., the lava lamp's demonstration of different liquid densities). Additionally, children can access the Project MC2 website to learn more about the characters, complete games and quizzes, and get instructions for additional scientific experiments such as the volcanic explosion and homemade glow sticks.

And, although the dolls feature attractive faces and fashionable clothing, the emphasis is on their interest in science. We're pleased that the Netflix/Toy series that focuses on education, especially science, a field in which females are classically underrepresented.
