For those who haven’t seen the latest video to go viral,
here it is: GoldieBlox
The media has gone wild over this fun and empowering video.
The New York Times, The Huffington Post, The Ellen Show, and many others have been sharing the “Engineering is for Girls” message. I had planned another topic for today’s blog
post, but shelved it for another day. After
watching all the new hype, I felt a calling to jump on the band wagon and make
yet an...
