The three actresses joined Google Software Engineer Kim Swennen and Rashida Jones in the Q&A panel about STEAM projects and subjects.
Guests at the event were also treated to a screening of the first episode of the new season of the Netflix show, as well as the opportunity to try out some of the new S.T.E.A.M. toys.
In Project Mc� season 6, the NOV8 team is on a mission to catch who is trying to harm the hero of Maywood Glen, Bobby Stone. Meanwhile, Ember is determined to encourage the town to recycle and Bryden is famous now that her science show is broadcast on Stone TV.
But her newfound popularity may endanger her longtime friendship with Camryn. This season NOV8 will encounter new adversaries and missions, but with ingenuity, instincts and teamwork they’ll save the day.
We don’t know about you, but we’re kind of obsessed with Netflix’s Project MC� as of late and JJJ is loving all the cast members so much!
If you don’t know, Project MC� focuses on girls in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and follows a group of friends who work for NOV8, a highly secretive group of female operatives who are constantly using their skills to save the day.
We recently chatted with Belle Shouse, who plays Ember Evergreen in the show, an intelligent and confident botanist who is full of southern sass. So much sass!
Check out 10 Fun Facts that we found out about Belle:
1. I’m happiest when I am on set.
2. I prefer salty over sweet, although I am obsessed with tree ripe peaches and Popbar.
3. I grew up on acreage in Texas with cows and still love the outdoors and wide open spaces.
4. I taught my border collies to play soccer.
5. I was born with thick black hair that naturally changed to auburn before changing to blonde.
6. I’m interested in entrepreneurship.
7. I’m an early riser.
8. I am a Duke University TIP (Talent Identification Program) member. Duke TIP is a global leader in identifying academically gifted students and providing them with opportunities to support their development.
9. I have a beehive in my backyard.
10. I’m graduating high school one year early and I am excited about it.
How glam are these pics of Project Mc� actress Mika Abdalla?
Mika plays McKeyla in the show, the problem solver and leader of the six girls, and JJJ caught up with her to learn 10 Fun Facts who definitely didn’t know about her — just in time for the brand new season on Netflix!
Check them out below!
1. I’ve been acting since I was 6. I used to be so shy I would hardly talk to anybody, but since I’ve started acting I’m a whole new person!
2. I have a stuffed animal that looks just like my cat, named Janet, that I take literally everywhere I go.
3. I’m the first generation on my dad’s side to be born in the United States. He, his sister, and his mother were all born in Bulgaria, and his father was born in Lebanon.
4. I ride horses. I’ve loved them since I was a baby, and I’ve been riding on and off for as long as I can remember!
5. I don’t have any siblings. Being an only child has its benefits, but sometimes I wish I had a brother or sister to hang out with.
6. I’m graduating high school a year early. It wasn’t easy, but it’s definitely something I’m proud of!
7. I’m obsessed with James Bond movies. The first one I ever watched was “Live and Let Die” and I’ve been hooked ever since!
8. I still live in the same city I was born in. I’m sure I’ll move to LA in the near future, but Texas will always have a special place in my heart.
9. I know how to drive a stick shift. My dad taught me in his 1996 Porsche 911.
10. I volunteer at my local cat shelter. Not only does it help fulfill my National Honors Society requirements, but I love working with and helping animals.
Along with the cast, the Girl Scout attendees got to hear from female executives from Twitter, Instagram, Google and Intel who have found success in S.T.E.A.M. careers and engaged in two of Project Mc2 experiments: Volcano and Soda Can Robot; plus walked away with their own S.T.E.A.M. swag from the show.
