In today’s generation, the gender equality or gap will going to be diminish. Ideally, computer for women program should be implemented a decade ago.

that successfully recruits both girls and boys and does not rely on
stereotypes.

That would be a real break through wouldn’t it.

I guess looking at the PicoCricket kit, it looks like it has many of the same features as the Mindstorms (display, sound, motors, sensors). I wonder what it is about this kit that makes it more attractive to girls?

I know my brother has been trying to interest my niece in science/math principles using pretty boring lego-knockoffs and I’m sure she’d get a lot more use out of PicoCrickets! I’m definitely ordering a kit for her birthday!
