Your Kids (And You) Are Going To Love ‘Ada Twist, Scientist’ On Netflix “Ada Twist never once questions that she deserves to be at the same table as her white friends.”
I’ve read ‘Ada Twist, Scientist’ to my son a lot in the last few years. It quickly became one of his favorite— just this summer, he requested I bring it on vacation to read to him. Never one to disappoint, I will happily read it to him whenever he asks. Because of his immense love for the book, when he found out that Netflix was making a show, he wasexcited. If I’m being honest, so was I.
It’s clear that representation is at the forefront of the show. They could have easily made the show about Rosie or Iggy, but they chose to focus the show through Ada’s eyes. While showcasing women in STEM and STEAM is incredibly important to all the parties involved, it is extra important that they show young kids of color, especially Black girls, that this is not a space that they are excluded from. Ada Twist never once questions that she deserves to be at the same table as her white friends.
“It felt really important to continue to show different images of who is doing this work, and what this work is,” she said. Additionally, she explained that some of the truly remarkable women we get to see featured were thanks to the Obamas being producers for the show. They were able to work their connections to get some truly outstanding scientists involved.
