What are you giving for Christmas this year?

So glad to see more organizations (including toy companies) trying to reach out to the female scientific community! Here's a post from the website, Upworthy, that caught my attention: 

"Fewer than 3 in 10 graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are women. And barely 1 in 10 actual engineers are women. Early in a girl's life, the toys marketed to her are usually things that don't encourage her to enter those fields. GoldieBlox intends to change that by teaching them while they are young that these fields can be fun — and apparently epic, by the looks of this super-genius 2-minute video. Watch and learn.

If you like what GoldieBlox is doing to innovate for girls' toys, you could Like them on Facebook. And if you want to see them win a chance at airing their commercial in the Super Bowl (instead of seeing another creepy GoDaddy ad), you could vote here. Just sayin'. And you could share this epicness if you think we need more girls interested in engineering. Totally your call though."

With the holiday season right around the corner, it's the perfect opportunity to give all the young girls in our lives the gift of education, curiosity, and interest in STEM. Make a choice to start nurturing our next generation of Scientista's--I believe it'll be a worthy investment.
