GoldieBlox!

We all remember the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears…this a story of GoldieBlox and some innovative learning for girls. Move over bears, this is a story of a girl, her dog Nacho and the construction of a spinning machine. 

GoldieBlox Inc. was started by a female engineer from Stanford University, in 2012. Debbie Sterling wanted to remind the world that engineers are critical to the world economy, earn higher salaries and have greater job security. And they are 89% male. The female perspective plays an important role in how we responsibly build our world's future.

GoldieBlox is all about a female engineer…YAY for the ladies! Her most important job is to be a role model for girls. The world needs more intelligent girls using their amazing minds to create a brighter future. The female perspective is very much needed for many of our world's inventions. We know how to do more than just cook, clean, care for children and shop!

Many top media resources have discovered this innovative toy for girls. It's time to push aside the frilly tutus, princess dolls and typical girl toys, so we can make room           to empower our little ladies to use those big brains.

Here's what is included in the Spinning Machine kit: (Goldie designed it to help Nacho chase his tail)

1 Goldie (brilliant little girl)

1 Nacho (sorry…but Nacho is a dog)

4 friends (Nacho and Goldie's pals)

1 pegboard (sturdy surface for the spinning machine)

5 wheels (not the wheels on the bus)

10 axles (not Gun's N' Roses lead singer)

5 blocks (not city blocks)

5 washers (flat disk used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener)

1 crank (used in mechanical engineering)

ribbon (there has to be one girly element in there;)

Take your little lady to World of Mirth and get her a Spinning Machine. Our future ride may lie in her hands.
