Haptic Synaptic

Meet Elena, an important member of our team! She’s 8 years old, in second grade, and she’s excited to help us create the best sets possible.

Elena loves playing with LOL dolls, drawing, and experimenting in the kitchen. In her free time, she enjoys riding her bike and says her favorite animal is a “cat-unicorn”!

Why does it matter that we have a girl on our team?

We want to better understand the girls we’re designing for and creating a better world for. Elena helps us with that. By listening to her and observing her play, we gain insight into the fears, desires, needs, and interests of girls today. The most important thing for us is that our sets are tested by girls of the age they’re made for. This helps us know if the set is fun, educational, and if there are any questions we need to answer.

Last weekend, Elena tested our new set.

Her impressions:
“A game that could last for hours—it’s hard to get bored!”
She started by drawing concentric circles, which sparked new ideas. Then she added waves that created different shapes when spun. Next, she experimented with glitter, figuring out how to make it shine best—whether it spins fast or slow. This simple set offers endless possibilities for creativity and inventing new things!

We must have been doing something great when interviewed us in the very first month of our launch.
We are very grateful and hope this feature will convince more parents to engage their daughters’ interest in tech proactively!
Because girls just wanna have fun (while learning about technology)!

An analysis of global retailers shows that tech toys are heavily boy-oriented.
They are usually blue, shaped as robots, cars, or Star Wars characters, and advertised with boys as models.
Girls end up seeing IT and robotics as “boy activities”-only; as a result, an entire gender is left out of these most important disciplines of the future. This is why our robotics toy is aimed at girls, to create a more inclusive world for all.
Our monthly kits are made to encourage girls’ interest in technology through an engaging activities most girls are already doing - like drawing, dancing, making jewelry, and playing with unicorns, and flowers.

Today is an International Girls in ICT day. 👩‍💻🌟

For this special occasion, we are so excited to announce we are releasing fun monthly projects to engage girls’ interest in tech! 🎉💻

They do not include robots, cars or any other “boy thing”.
But there is a lot of coloring, stickers, and sparkles. All that while learning basics about electricity and algorithmic thinking!

Cool monthly tech projects – Bracelet Marker You want to do some projects with your daughter, but can’t seem to find the time to get everything you need? We’ve got you covered. Every month we’ll send you a box with a new project, detailed instructions and all the materials needed!

Remember, asking yourself the same question is also beneficial. ☝️
Embrace challenges and inspire growth together.🌱✨

Did you know that growth mindset helps combat stereotype threats by fostering resilience and confidence in girls and their perception about their abilities? 👧🚀

Another great news is, growth mindset is teachable!

We can teach girls to embrace challenges, break barriers, and rewrite the narrative. 🌟

A sobering conclusion:

Many children assimilate the idea that brilliance is a male quality at a young age. 🌟👦

Big shoutout to all the parents who never said: "This is a toy for boys (or girls)" 🙌

Let's break the barriers of gender stereotypes in playtime!

Toys are for creativity, imagination, and fun, regardless of gender.
Every child deserves the freedom to explore and enjoy toys that spark their interest and passion.

Let's encourage a world where all toys are for all children, because play knows no boundaries. 💫🚀

Why is it that when you think of technology, cars and trucks immediately come to mind? 🤔🛻
The truth is, technology is as diverse as our playlist. 😀🚗💻

Let's challenge and change our default settings.
🚀

As we wrap up this incredible year, we're grateful for every moment spent inspiring little minds and fostering a love for tech in young girls. 🚀💖

Thank you for being part of our journey!

May the upcoming year bring even more creativity, curiosity, and countless adventures in the world of technology.

Cheers to making 2024 a year filled with innovation, learning, and empowering young minds! 🌟👩‍💻
