Just in time for the holidays, Roominate has come out with some new building kits designed to encourage girls to have fun with the STEM subjects. Did you know that less than 15% of women enter college intending to major in STEM subjects. Many girls’ toys actually lag behind in the development of spatial skills, hands-on problem solving and confidence with technology. I definitely see that with a lot of my daughter’s toys already.
Roominate products use a unique blend of building, circuits, design, crafts, storytelling and creativity to teach kids while they play. The sets have motors, light circuits, modular furniture building pieces and walls. Roominate was actually designed by two female engineers in hopes of inspiring kids.
Roominate teaches:
- Hands-On Problem Solving
- Spatial + Fine Motor Skills
- Self-Confidence
- Creativity
- Basic Circuitry
As I said, Roominate has two new products to add to their line: Roominate Townhouse and Roominate RV.
