Bracelet Maker — Robotics Toy Made With Girls In Mind
Bracelet Maker is a robotics toy with the aim of enhancing girls’ interest in coding and engineering through playing with friends. The toy’s unique patented knitting system is easy-to-use and suitable for children aged 8 and above, who can both gain new skills and engage their friends by using it. The design stimulates long-term use and learning through variation and repetition. In mastering the basics of mechanics and coding through playing, girls are given a foundation for an ongoing interest in STEM, ideally resulting in increased women’s participation in tech.
