Nerd Girls - Hot pics and video of nerds who are also girls on the new reality tv show Nerd Girls, plus photos of the original prototypical nerd girl Danica McKellar, aka Winnie Cooper.

The Nerd Girls reality tv show follows Tufts University professor Karen Panetta as she mentors her team of young women through hands-on engineering projects including building a solar-powered car.

The Nerdgirls team is challenging the notion of what a geek should look like, either by intentionally sexing up their tech personas, or by simply finding no disconnect between their geeky pursuits and more traditionally girly interests such as fashion, makeup and high heels.

In fact, calling them “nerd” is no insult at all—the Nerd Girls have T shirts emblazoned with the slogan.

One of their role models is Ellen Spertus, a math professor with a Ph. D. who joined Google after winning the Sexiest Geek Alive contest in 2001 and strutted up to claim her crown wearing a circuit board corset and a high-slit skirt exposing a slide rule strapped to her leg.

Another role model for the Nerd Girls team is actress Danica McKellar, who starred as Winnie Cooper on the Wonder Years tv show, studied math at UCLA and published a paper on ‘Percolation And Gibbs States Multiplicity For Ferromagnetic Ashkin-Teller Models On Zsquared’.

Besides posing for Maxim and Stuff magazines, Danica McKellar also published a math book for middle-school girls entitled “Math Doesn’t Suck”.

The Nerd Girls are smart, they’re techie and they’re hot. They also hope to be the first all-female team in an international solar car race next year.

“Back when the Nerd Girls began in 2000, people would say, ‘Why do you have to call yourselves nerds?’—like it was a bad thing,” says Panetta, the founder of the group and an electrical and computer-engineering professor at Tufts. “But I never get that question anymore. It’s OK, it’s smart, it’s cool to be a nerd, and the girls are just embracing that.”
