The Truth About Why Little Girls Need STEM Toys
Fat Wallet released a really neat infographic about why little girls need STEM toys. Spoiler alert: women make up only 26% of the STEM workforce, and young girls experience gender bias in the STEM fields from the time they’re in preschool.
"When you shop for the little girls in your life - whether daughters, granddaughters, nieces, etc. - do you walk right past the Legos and building blocks and head straight for the pink aisle with the Barbies and baby dolls? Now, don’t get me wrong; dolls are great toys for kids because they teach them how to be nurturing caregivers. But did you know that depriving little girls of those building blocks can actually keep them from achieving high-paying jobs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics - also known as STEM fields?"
