I heard a great but sad story about a young mom who borrowed money from the scam agency that our new attorney general whitaker was involved with, to patent a baby car alarm (thing). when there was a settlement, he was the only one who did not pay his restitution to this woman. Yep . . . not only are there the women inventors, but there are women who have had to eat the crow of scammers, con-men and evil tricksters ~ time to that sh#* to CHANGE!
Women have invented many of the products and technologies we use every day -- but many of us would be hard pressed to name even a single female inventor! From life rafts to rocket fuel to disposable diapers, women have invented amazing things. In fact, if you use GPS on your cell phone, turn on windshield wipers when you drive in the rain, or ever enjoyed an aquarium, you can thank the woman behind them! In honor of the remarkable women whose breakthroughs have advanced technology and the ease of our day to day lives, in our blog post, "Sisters in Innovation," we're sharing the stories of twenty ingenious women whose inventions have changed the world. Whether they were coming up with their designs two centuries ago or are still working today, these clever creators deserve to have their stories told. We've even included a few stories of modern-day Mighty Girls who have taken up the challenge of becoming the inventors of today — and tomorrow. And, to help you dig deeper into their stories and introduce these trailblazers to a new generation, we've also included resources such as books and posters focused on the featured inventors at the end of each profile for readers both young and old.

A new generation of game designers have realized that science and math games can be much more engaging than simply having kids recite trivia or memorize facts and figures. Newer STEM-themed games use clever rule design and colorful components to encourage critical thinking and make learning science and math easy and fun! In our blog post, "35 Science & Math Games for Mighty Girls," we've showcased our favorite STEM-themed games on everything from math concepts to chemical reactions to geology. With options for all ages, these games are an excellent way to teach new material, solidify understanding, and make learning science and math playful again!
