“My local library branch started doing this “Blind Date with a Book” thing, thought you guys might like it. The shelf was full when we got there, but was like this as we were leaving. The books are wrapped in paper and have different designs on them, and then a few words vaguely describing the subject matter of the book. Things like “Drama”, “Plot Twists”, “espionage”, etc. The only thing exposed on the book is the barcode that you use to scan the book out. I thought it was a pretty cool idea.”

this makes my heart warm

Debbie Sterling wants to re-engineer the world, one girl at a time. A Stanford engineer who spent her childhood years thinking “engineering was nerdy and intimidating and just for boys”, she was inspired by a statistic (trumpeted on her Kickstarter page, “only 11 percent of engineers are women and girls start losing interest in science as young as age eight!”) and has made it her mission to move some numbers via “GoldieBlox”, a feminine-styled engineering toy set that, in broad terms, could be thought of as pastel-painted, round-edged Legos for girls.

While the real LEGO Company “Legos for Girls” have come under heavy fire from feminist groups for being overly sexy and less than engineering-friendly, Sterling wants to emphasize that her ‘blox go beyond “making it pink” in appealing to the kindergarten girl demographic. If the $150,000 project is funded on Kickstarter, the first GoldieBlox set will contain a pegboard, character figurines, plastic put-togetherable tools like axles, cranks, wheels and washers and a narrative booklet cum instruction manual featuring engineer “Goldie” and her many amusable pets.

Right now, Sterling estimates that the first toys will be released to $30-and-up Kickstarter backers in February 2013: subsequently, the toys will retail from her website for $29.99. She plans to release additional GoldieBlox sets and storybooks later in 2013, and says she’s “already sketching”.
