Engenheira de Stanford cria "jogo para garotas" para inspirar e despertar interesse pela engenharia. De acordo com pesquisa dela, apenas 11% de engenheiros são mulheres e as garotas começam a perder interesse em ciência e tecnologia ao redor dos 8 anos. Como ela constata, a seção de brinquedos para garotos, tem de sobra jogos Tipo Lego ou Erector para despertar o adormecido e pequeno engenheiro, mas e as garotas?
Porque elas não seriam ou gostariam de ser engenheiras?
Pensando nisso ela desenhou e projetou o Goldie Box:
"GoldieBlox is a construction toy + book series starring Goldie, the kid inventor who loves to build. As girls read along, they get to build what Goldie builds.
"GoldieBlox is a construction toy + book series starring Goldie, the kid inventor who loves to build. As girls read along, they get to build what Goldie builds.
Target age range: 5-9
The entire set includes:
- Storybook: "GoldieBlox and the Spinning Machine": This is the intro to Goldie, where she builds a belt drive to spin all her friends.
- Character Figurines: Nacho (Goldie's beloved dog), Benjamin Cranklin (the cat with an attitude), Katinka (the dolphin ballerina), Phil (the sloth), and Flavio (the bear from Brazil).
- Construction Set: 1 pegboard, 5 wheels, 10 axles, 5 blocks, 1 crank, 1 ribbon and 5 washers."
