Full STEAM ahead for Season 2 of Netflix's Project Mc2 aimed at tween girls

When the creators of Project Mc2 started shaping up the series they had a goal in mind.

They also wanted to show that it's a realm that doesn't have one stereotypical image but yes, you can be pretty, funny, sporty and still be smart because "smart is the new cool." 

Season 1 launched in August 2015 exclusive to Netflix aimed at girls in the tween years.
