Barbie goes Computer Engineering!

After 50 years and 125 dolls, Mattel has finally come out with Computer Engineer Barbie!  It's an exciting day for engineers interested in Barbie, and a great opportunity to show girls a little insight into engineering.

It appears that young girls weren't the ones that voted for computer engineer, but this is still a great way to encourage them to look at engineering. Remember when Barbie once talked about how Math is tough?  Glad to see she's come a long way in just a few years.

Great job to the Society of Women Engineers and National Academy of Engineering for working with Mattel to make this happen!  I know I'm looking forward picking up on when it comes out in the fall.
