Female inventors are breaking through.

“Numerous reports continue to confirm the impressive contributions of female entrepreneurs and inventors who are outpacing new firm creation at a rate of five to one versus men.”

As a child, I had a fascination with boxes and what one could do with them. For example, encouraged by my mother, I invented a guitar with a box and rubber bands. I still love boxes. This has progressed to an infatuation with smartphones, similar technological inventions, and to my invention of trainings and programs that embrace technology. 

Kids are incredibly creative and inventive when they are encouraged to use their imaginations and receive the positive reinforcement to build on what fascinates them. With imagination, they can take a space, confine it in a container, and transform that space into…something special, that matters to them, that they have invented. The self-esteem that this builds can last a lifetime and lead to other ways of making a difference.

We look at science as something very elite, which only a few people can learn. That’s just not true. You just have to start early and give kids a foundation. Kids live up, or down, to expectations. Mae Jemison, The First African American Woman in Space. 

Young Inventors

We have known of young boys and men who have invented products. And of females of all ages who are being encouraged, inventing and breaking through with product development and engineering. The time has come when there are more and more platforms that are supporting their businesses and financing their products.  #girlswhocode #womeninventors #womenleaders
