STEM Toys importance in girls life

STEM toys designed for girls are a great way to inspire girls to pursue science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), while being tons of fun at the same time. After extensive research, our top pick for best STEM toy for girls this year is the littlebits Rule Your Room Kit.

However, all children are different, and you really need to match the toy to their interests (and your budget!) – skip straight to the reviews, to make an informed decision.

Before we get to the reviews, if you’re new to the concepts, you may be wondering why we believe STEM toys for girls are so important, but to answer that question we will have to dive into some STEMtistics!

The Importance of STEM Toys for Girls

When it comes to STEM fields, women are massively underrepresented. In the USA women made up just 26% of the computing workforce and 13% of the engineering in 2016. A similar story can be found in other developed nations, with women only making up 23% of the core STEM workforce in the UK. Given that jobs in these sectors earn significantly more on average than non-STEM careers, it is vital for wage equality that women become better represented in these fields. But how? Do Robotic Pool Cleaners Really Work https://www.robotsden.com/do-robotic-pool-cleaners-really-work

Research has shown time and time again that there is no difference in science and math ability of boys and girls, so the aptitude argument can no longer be used to explain the shortfall. To contrast, we now know gender stereotyping to be one of the major causes, with studies showing the beliefs about what subjects are for what genders can be formed as early as 6 years old! These ideas then go on to influence everything from basic interests to career choices.

So the age old notion that girls should play with dolls & kitchen sets and boys with building blocks is not only outdated, but harmful to child development. We think that changing this paradigm is essential to help break gender stereotypes and ensure girls have equal opportunities to pursue STEM. That aside, the STEM toys for girls below can also help develop valuable skills like coding, engineering and design through interactive challenges. What’s not to love?

Engineering toys for girls have a big role to play in getting more girls in STEM fields later in life. Founded by two female engineers from Stanford University, Roominate was created to ”inspire the next generation of innovators”. The kits enable you to build your own structures using easy-to-fit together parts. You can then customize the inside by building furniture, staircases and adding stickers. Keyword arduino robot arm source code https://www.robotsden.com/7-arduino-robotic-arm-project-ideas-tutorial-plus-source-code

Additionally, some sets come with motors and electrical components which allow you to make things like an elevator, spinning windmill, carousel and more. The company also released an app allowing you to control and connect the different components. It’s like your very own mini smart-home!

Since being named the #1 toy of the year in Time Magazine a few years ago, the startup has expanded into an impressive range. From RV’s, to amusement parks, to mansions, the sets are all compatible with each other so your kids can let their imaginations run wild. We think Roominate is a top STEM toy for girls to develop engineering skills, and the best part is it’s super affordable. It’s easy to see why these multi-award winning sets make a great STEM toy for girls to foster an interest in engineering.

Produced by consumer robotics company Anki, Cozmo is the artificial intelligence (AI) robot you’ve only ever seen in movies. Reminiscent of Disney’s Wall-E, Cozmo is just as cute and packed full of emotions and moods which develop the more you hang out! Download the app to play games and unlock new skills, features and levels – this is where Cozmo really comes to life.

If it loses it gets sad (only for a little while!), if Cozmo wins the robot is happy. If bored, it will nudge you to play, if you ignore Cozmo it can get cranky. Sometimes it’s easy to forget it isn’t alive – especially when state of the art facial recognition software enables Cozmo to call your name! remote control car with night vision https://www.robotsden.com/best-remote-control-car-with-night-vision

Cozmo Software Development Kit (SDK)

That’s fun and all, but the Cozmo SDK is easily the most interesting and exciting feature. This platform allows you to write your own custom code for Cozmo and create entirely new experiences. Anki provide 10+ example scripts to get things started, where you can learn how to program Cozmo to sing a scale or patrol for intruders. But after this it’s up to you to experiment with the code and see what you can do… And Anki don’t just give access to low level functionality like movement and sensors, but also let you program high level behaviours and functions like animations, facial recognition and localization systems. What’s more, Cozmo can connect to 3rd party APIs like IFTTT and Twitter, which opens up a whole host more possibilities. The hardware is so advanced that even researchers are using Cozmo! This kit is full of potential and we think it is really one of the best coding toys for girls out there. If you want to find out more about the SDK, click here. If you think this might all sound a little too advanced, Anki have also created a graphical drag and drop styled programming option in the App. This simplifies the whole process as kids simply move blocks of commands into sequences and execute the program, so is a good option for complete beginners to understand the basics.

Cozmo provides hours of fun at the same time as teaching your kids the essential skill of coding. Our best STEM toys for girls list wouldn’t be complete without this awesome robotics set from Anki! Similar to Roominate, GoldieBlox is designed to develop mechanical engineering skills through creative exploration. Aimed at a slightly younger audience, this building toy comes with a storybook where kids follow Goldie the inventor & her friends on adventures.

In order to solve Goldie’s problems and challenges, you have to build fun structures and machines. These include anything from ice cream trucks to parade floats to a fully-functioning guitar! We really like this story line styled learning experience and think it is great for keeping kids engaged.

The most popular set has to be the ‘Spinning Machine‘. The set comes with all the pieces to make a full functioning belt drive machine. The story hook is lots of fun and very relatable for the kids – Goldie builds the spinning machine to help her dog chase his tail, but then all her friends also want to join in the fun! The high quality and popularity of this STEM toy for girls is demonstrated by all the awards it has won, including Educational Toy of the Year, People’s Choice Toy of the Year, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Best Toy – Platinum and Parent’s Choice – Gold award. Impressive! toy robot that blows smoke https://www.robotsden.com/toy-robot-that-blows-smoke-gifts-to-delight-your-inquisitive-kid

Girls are more engaged with building when what they are making has a purpose, says founder Debbie Sterling. So the story-line is really what sets GoldieBlox apart from the rest. If you are looking for something a little simpler than Roominate, this is a great place to start for younger girls.

Meet Vector, the home robot from Anki with a big personality

http://www.internetunleashed.co.uk/?p=35912 Meet Vector, the home robot from Anki with a big personality - http://www.internetunleashed.co.uk/?p=35912 Once the stuff of science fiction, robot domestic helpers are fast becoming a reality thanks to developments in artificial intelligence and robotics. And now leading robotics company Anki has unveiled Vector, a droid with a personality that’s set to take over your home, much like its little brother Cozmo took over your desk.Having released the best-selling toy robot Cozmo in 2016, the company has moved on to service robots while retaining its focus on injecting personality into its creations. Using an HD camera, four built-in microphones and intelligent sensors, Vector is able to understand its surroundings and carry out simple tasks around the home. ‘Hey Vector’ The new robot is fully autonomous and always on, meaning that all you have to do is say “Hey Vector”, and it will be ready to respond to a command. Some of things it can do include telling you the about the weather, responding to questions, setting timers, and even dancing when it hears music. What sets Vector apart from other domestic robots is its vast capacity for personality; for example, it responds to human touch and can learn the names of the people it sees, and with a hi-res color IPS display, it’s programmed with hundreds of different animations to communicate how it’s ‘feeling’. While Vector is already pretty smart, thanks to regular updates sent via the cloud it will only get smarter over time.  More friend than butler By using Qualcomm Technologies to build Vector’s ‘brain’, Anki is aiming to make it approachable as well as smart. Dev Singh, director of business developments and robotics at Qualcomm says of the partnership: “We are pleased to support Anki on its journey to evolve robots – going from utilitarian machines into smart, friendly, and relatable companies that will bring joy to many people’s lives.”Vector is available to order in the UK now through anki.com for 30 days at a special pre-order price of £199.99, and will go on general sale on October 12. In the US it’s available through a 30-day Kickstarter campaign at a special price of $199.99 vs $249.99 (plus taxes), offering early access to both robot and SDK (system development kit). Could you be emotionally blackmailed by a cute robot? Source link

They say nice things come in small packages, and that couldn’t be more true of Anki’s must-have robot, Cozmo. The little robot looks as if it’s come straight out of a Hollywood movie, and it has the brains and the personality to reinforce that impression. Before its UK launch in September this year, How It Works magazine was invited to meet Cozmo, the droid dubbed a ‘supercomputer on treads’.
