Curious Jane was founded six years ago by Samantha Razook Murphy to give her daughters, and all young girls, a place to be creative and to tinker and experiment in a fun, high-energy environment. Their classes revolve around science, design, and engineering and empower girls through hands-on, open-ended, project-based work. They run summer camps, after-school programs, birthday parties, and events, and have a quarterly magazine for cool, creative girls, ages 6 to 11. In 2014, they won a prestigious Small Business Grant from Chase in support of their programs for girls.

“On eye-catching pages packed with doodles, vibrant colors, and detailed photos of each project in process, this collection of activities, compiled from Curious Jane magazine, has the look of an energetic Pinterest board.” —Booklist
School Library Journal
05/01/2017Gr 3–6—The concept behind this volume started with a summer camp in Brooklyn that was organized by Samantha Razook Murphy to encourage her daughters to "tinker, create, invent, and have fun!" The result is a well-organized, easy-to-follow, and heavily illustrated assortment of activities and craft ideas that can be done using readily available and generally affordable materials. Some activities are intended just for fun or to help kids build friendship through science. One such exercise is the "toss and talk ball," in which topics are written out on an inflatable ball meant to be tossed to others, who then answer the question closest to their right thumb. Others come with a brief but lucid explanation of the science involved. For instance, the directions for creating "fizzy bath bombs" are accompanied by information on why the bath bombs react when they are placed in the bathtub. Adult involvement is suggested when needed. Though aimed at girls, this title will also engage those who do not identify as female. VERDICT This attractive offering will be most useful as a supplement to other science and craft materials. Consider for large collections or established maker spaces.—Maria B. Salvadore, formerly at District of Columbia Public Library
