Dorktales Podcast: Episode 43
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Science Experiment?!
“Question everything!” That’s Rapunzel’s motto. The princess from Mythdom breaks all fairy tale stereotypes when she tells the story that her time in the tower was for scientific innovation and experimentation. Her patented, three-step, hair strengthening system could win her a STEM scholarship! Can she shimmy down the tower’s trellis and make her way through the peat bog path to get to the science fair in time?
PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This is our reimagining of the fairy tale “Rapunzel.” The character, Rapunzel, breaks traditional princess stereotypes, demonstrating a passion for STEM, especially science and invention. It encourages being curious, asking questions, keeping an open mind and not holding onto oversimplified views of people or ideas.
