E-liza Dolls (Dolls that teach girls how to code)
Home: California, United States
E-liza Dolls makes robot dolls that teach young girls how to code! Our mission is to increase diversity and decrease the gender gap in STEM. By introducing young girls to coding and hardware from a young age, we are raising a new generation of women in STEM! Through story-based play, girls will code and build different projects using sensors to technologically enhance their lives with E-liza the robot doll from outer space!

Years of spending time in primarily male-dominated STEM companies and academic institutions inspired our founder to make a toy made for girls! The E-liza Doll is a fun and unique way for girls as young as 5 to get coding and hacking hardware!
