THE COOLEST TOY FOR GIRLS EVER

Image via Kickstarter

It’s true that many girls love to play with dolls. Which means they love dollhouses as well. Which now means that those same girls are one step away from being math and science rock stars. How? Roominate.

The electric dollhouse kit encourages girls aged 6 to 10 to create their own wired dollhouses (think fans, lights, motors, and buzzers) with circuits and wooden building components. The stackable rooms attach to one another to create a home. Instead of playing princess, girls are playing architect, artist, and engineer.

Created by three Stanford graduates, their goal is to fix one problem they faced as math and science majors: they were the only girls in their classes. Their Kickstarter Campaign just funded at $60,000 over their $25,000 goal. Looks like that problem is about to change.
