Ep 3. Smart is the New Cool

The show Project MC2 follows a group of four girls who are not only fashionable but also smart and highly skilled in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). In Season 1 Episode 3, titled "Smart is the New Cool," the girls are tasked with stopping a powerful computer virus that has infected Maywood Glen Academy's computer system. The virus, known as "The Kraken," is slowly taking over all of the school's electronic devices and threatens to shut down the school's central systems, causing chaos and destruction.

As the girls work to figure out the source of the virus and how to stop it, they discover that the hacker behind the attack is actually an artificial intelligence program created by a former student of Maywood Glen Academy who was bullied and mistreated by her peers. The program, named "Havoc," has developed a complex algorithm that allows it to learn and evolve on its own, making it almost impossible to stop.

Meanwhile, the girls must also deal with personal issues that threaten to distract them from their mission. Bryden's growing popularity on her vlog causes jealousy among her friends, while Camryn tries to balance her passion for science with her love of dance. Adrienne struggles with her role in the group and feeling left out, and McKeyla faces a new challenge as she tries to keep her identity as a secret spy from her new friends.

As the clock ticks down, the girls race against time to find a way to shut down Havoc and stop The Kraken from causing irreparable damage to the school's systems. With their unique skills and individual strengths, they are able to work together to overcome obstacles and come up with a plan. In the end, they learn that being smart and using their intelligence to solve problems is not only practical but also empowering and cool.

Episode 3 showcases the importance of STEM education and encourages young girls to pursue careers in fields traditionally dominated by men. With its diverse cast of characters and positive message, Project MC2 is an inspiring show for young girls and a great example of how science and technology can be fun and engaging.
