GoldieBlox teamed up with the If/Then Initiative to bring you the YouTube series Fast Forward Girls. The show follows the journey of young women as they learn about the STEM in the real world by immersing themselves in it with the help of leading female innovators. In the Fast Forward Girls Spotlight, we take a moment to get to know those innovators a little bit better.

Jann Vendetti is a snail scientist at the National History Museum of LA. She took Jazmine Garcia on a exciting snail adventure (bet you’ve never heard all of those words in a sentence) in Fast Forward Girls: Slime Science. Jann talked with us about how girls can pursue their STEM interests in their own backyard.
