Kid scientist Anne learns about the world in her junkyard lab with her best pal Nick, and her android helpers.

Eleven-year old genius and aspiring scientist Anne has invented and built her own amazing androids. Far more than mere 'robots' (simple machines that can only perform single tasks), Anne's androids are thinking, feeling creations with curious, endearing personalities. Thanks to their insatiable curiosity, Anne's experiments always lead to unforeseen complications, hijinks, and misadventures. When new kid Nick moves in across the street, he discovers Anne's secret junkyard laboratory. Nick enlists the help of Shania, his fun-loving neighbor, and they soon befriend Anne and her mechanical companions. Nick and Shania have uncanny ways of figuring out the real-life solutions to Anne's scientific problems and she enlists their help with her various experiments.

Anne, Shania and the androids help Nick build a lawn-mowing robot to help him with his chores. All the while, Nick's Mom keeps stopping by the junkyard to check on their progress, nearly discovering Pal each time she comes by!

Anne is working out the kinks with newly made Pal, while Nick, Shania and the other androids play Hide and Seek. When Nick accidentally activates a security program that makes Hand, Eyes and Pal go into super-hiding mode, the kids have to find the missing androids before Pal's circuits overload.

Shania wants to form a garage band with her brothers but they're not very interested (or very good). Meanwhile at the junkyard, Anne and Nick work on upgrades to the security system. When they put Shania in charge of android-sitting, she finds out they have hidden musical talents and together they create a Garbage Band.

Hand feels left out when Anne would prefer to use Pal to help with an experiment; she thinks Anne likes Pal better. Nick devises the Android Games to show Hand what she's good at but the plan backfires when Eyes and Pal unexpectedly shine in the games.

Eyes discovers a butterfly in the junkyard and wants to learn to fly, so Anne, Nick and Shania experiment with different ways to help Eyes off the ground. After several attempts with wings and helicopter blades, they discover that helium balloons are the best solution. That is, until the balloons lift Eyes over the junkyard fence and into the neighbor's yard.

Anne has built a brand new observatory and invites Nick and Shania to a sleepover so they can witness the lunar eclipse. First, Nick needs to get permission from his Mom to spend the night at the junkyard. The kids decide that it's time for Nick's Mom to meet Anne's Dad.

Anne experiments with growing plants, until her crafty robo-mouse eats her experiment. Nick, Anne and Shania devise ways to catch the robo-mouse while the androids discover a stray cat in the junkyard, and hilariously try to care for the cat like it's a plant. Just when Nick realizes the cat is the perfect solution to Anne's plant problem, the stray is gone. Will the cat come back?

Shania is stuck at home taking care of her little brother Garth while Anne and Nick build a rainbow maker with a prism. When Anne and Nick aren't looking, the prism accidentally sails over the junkyard fence and ends up in Garth's sticky hands. Shania's got to help get the prism back before anyone discovers the android in the house.

Anne recreates Nikola Tesla's plasma ball for her summer school project, but the power goes out before she can get it up and running. She decides to try alternative types of energy (sun, wind and people power) to generate electricity for the ball. Meanwhile, Hand develops an interest in the electric company truck that comes to fix the power lines...can androids feel love too?

Nick's best friend Zack comes over for a sleepover, but Anne doesn't want anyone else to know about the androids, so doesn't invite them over to her magnetism experiment. When Pal is accidentally turned into a magnet, Zach gets drawn into the junkyard anyways thanks to his metal backpack. He ends up helping demagnetize Pal, and becomes the newest member of the junkyard crew.

When Hand acts out of control, Anne, Nick and Shania wonder if she's throwing temper tantrums or if she's been infected by a computer virus. As Hand acts increasingly dangerous, Anne's Dad tells them to shut Hand down, until the kids discover she was being manipulated by Shania's family's new remote control toy. But can they get Hand back to normal?

Anne is thrilled when a meteorite lands nearby because the space rock is the last one she needs for her extensive rock collection. Fortunately, Eyes was tracking it in the sky and knows exactly where it landed. Nick convinces Anne to let Eyes come on their space rock adventure but, little does he know, other amateur geologists and Nick's Reporter Mom are on the meteorite hunt too.

With school starting, Anne, Nick and Shania test a rocket messenger system so that they can stay in touch during the school day. They quickly realize that they need something smarter than a rocket to be able to carry messages. Using supplies around the junkyard, the kids turn an ordinary pigeon into a bionic flying delivery system.

It's the first day of school and Nick is nervous about making new friends. Luckily he meets a girl named Charlie who shares his love of science. Meanwhile, Pidgely is on his first "Harrier Pigeon" mission to deliver a message to Nick and Shania, but when he misses the designated time to meet up with them, he has to get resourceful.

Anne, Nick and Shania are babysitting Shania's little brothers when Pal discovers that Meow Cat has had kittens. Shania's super excited and takes one of the kittens away, but quickly learns this was a bad idea. When she tries to return the kitten, Meow Cat has moved and taken the other kittens with her. The kids have to find Meow Cat and return the kitten to its Momma before it's too late.

When Nick's Dad bails on a Father/Son Science Center Challenge at the last minute, Anne lets Nick borrow her Dad. While Nick and Anne's Dad do some male bonding as they try to figure out how to make the fastest mini-vehicle without wheels, Anne, Shania and Nick's Mom do some female bonding with a girls' day.

Anne gets an assignment from school that instructs her to "get closer to one of her dreams." She's not sure what it means, but Nick and Shania help her figure out that one of her dreams is to make contact with alien life. To help Anne get closer to that dream, they experiment with how to send one of the androids into space.

Nick's friend Zack builds a basketball-playing robot and enlists Anne's help to make it work. When Nick finds Zack and Anne working together at the junkyard, Nick is jealous and challenges the robot to a game of one-on-one.

After Shania brings her dog Cyrus to the junkyard for a DNA experiment, the dog gets lost, so the gang uses forensic investigative techniques to find him in the neighborhood.

When Nick has a recurring nightmare about dinosaurs, Anne and Shania help him get over it by figuring out how he can outsmart the dinosaurs in his dream by learning about lucid dreaming techniques.

Anne is planning a series of experiments with dry ice, but her plans are interrupted by an invitation to Charlie's birthday party. At the costume party, Anne is excited to find dry ice so she can finish her project. Meanwhile, Nick and Shania have to keep Charlie from finding out about Pal when Pal decides to tag along.
