Science toys for girls

in ask on (#2XQ)
Wired has an interesting article about a new company Goldiebox who is making science and engineering toys targeted to young girls . Apparently, this new direction in play-education was not supported by the conventional toy industry, but through crowd-funding, Goldiebox was able to break through to the mass market and is going like gang-busters. Interesting quote from the CEO: "A lot of the men in the toy industry have daughters, and many of them are tired of what they have to offer their daughters, too."
