Olivia and the Experiments

So Mary Alexandra Agner, a three-time contributor to ST (once with this compilable Ada poem), is running a kickstarter to support her chapbook, Olivia and the Experiments, about a young girl building and running some famous scientific experiments, illustrated with LEGO!

Here is the description:

Olivia's out of school for the summer.  What better way to fill the days than to build a cyclotron or run DNA through a blender to study its hereditary nature?  Doing it with your friends!

I will write three stories showing Olivia and her friends adventuring with science, technology, engineering, and math.  The stories will emphasize Olivia's motto that STEM subjects can always be figured out, if not immediately understood. Additionally, the stories will incorporate under-emphasized aspects of science:  collaboration, creativity, and its application for improvement of the human condition.  Each story will include a picture of a LEGO model of the apparatus used by Olivia during the story.

I just think it is incredibly cool - hence signal boosting. The Kickstarter page is here.
