Boolean Box – STEM discovery and building kit, made just for girls! Boolean Box was designed with a specific goal in mind: to open the minds of girls ages 8 to 14, and introduce them to the world of computer programming, electronics, animation, and more. Created by a team at the non-profit organization Boolean Girl Inc., which teaches coding and engineering to elementary and middle school girls, the Boolean Box was made to appeal to younger audiences. Engaging girls in STEM subjects between the 3rd to 8th grades makes it more likely that they’ll remain interested in information technology, and increase the number of women in technology-based careers. But beyond changing the world, they wanted to ignite young minds on an individual basis. What sort of science and engineering toy or kit would appeal to young girls, while teaching them vital information? After getting feedback from hundreds of girls in Boolean Girl camps and classes, the answer became the Boolean Box. With the Boolean Box, STEM learning is literally in your child’s hand! The kit contains all the tools they need to build their own Boolean Box. After plugging it into a monitor, they’re ready to learn coding, build circuits, and make animation. Let your child discover, explore, and create the foundation for a lifetime love of science and information technology! The Boolean Box comes with an assortment of programs and features, including: Raspberry Pi wireless keyboard and mouse Scratch, Python, and Mindcraft programs Hardware and electronics Access to to more fun through Boolean University Empower your girls and give them the gift of coding...Click ADD TO CART and order TODAY!

• Build a real computer by yourself. Invent electronic gadgets and learn coding using Scratch to create stories, games, and animations. Based on Raspberry Pi, this kit also includes Python programming for kids plus Scratch and Python projects.
• Kids learn engineering concepts as they build circuits and models. The Boolean Box accommodates skills growth and includes increasingly sophisticated projects as skills progress. Whether brand new to technology, very experienced, or somewhere in between, there is a path that fits.
• Girls, boys, everyone. We collaborated with 1000s of girls in camps and school programs to develop the Boolean Box to teach computers, coding, and electronics. Kids learn STEM/STEAM concepts through experimentation, discovery and play.
• Includes keyboard, mouse, Raspberry Pi, 8 gig SD card with Raspbian OS, Scratch, Python and Minecraft. Wires, circuits, resistors, buttons, LEDs, breadboard. HDMI connects to TV. Includes Internet/WiFi but not required. Box is also carrying case. Ages 8+
• Boolean Box is part of the Boolean Girl program, created to inspire 3rd - 8th grade girls to build, code, and invent. Through online Boolean U, camps, and clubhouses, we grow early engagement in computing and engineering to spark lifelong interest in STEM.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why is it specifically "for Girls"? Why not for all children
Answer:	Hi Brian here, one of the founders of Boolean Girl. We frequently get the request for a gender-neutral version of the Boolean Box STEM computer kit and we understand why. Coding is fun for everyone! But, Boolean Girl Tech has been a mission driven company since its inception. Our goal is to inspire and encourage girls to pursue STEM careers to address the declining numbers of girls and women in STEM careers. While we continue to keep a gender-neutral version on the radar, it is not core to our mission and remains a lower priority. Other parents have purchased the Boolean Box for their sons because once kids open the box, their creativity and imagination are jump-started. I have two boys myself and they build things with the Boolean Box. You might find, as I have, that the Box is a good conversation starter with your son(s) about the challenges of gender and racial imbalance in technical fields.
Question:	Is it overly girly? It seems to be the best option available but I have boys
Answer:	It is not overly girly. On the cover it says for girls but if your boys can get past that it is a great tech toy for learning. We use the kits in all the BooleanGirl.org classes even the ones that include boys. The name and the label frequently start useful discussions about diversity in technology. I have two boys and they use their boxes all the time. The younger one added some stickers to his.
Question:	How long does it take for this product to ship? I don't see any stock info
Answer:	There are two choices based on who fulfills the order, by Amazon or by the seller, boolean girl. It looks like if you choose Amazon Prime, it may not arrive by the Christmas. If you choose to let Boolean Girl fulfill, I promise you that we will ship orders 2 day, the same day they are ordered. So if you order before 5 PM on the 20th it will ship on the 20th and should arrive on the 22nd.
Question:	Is there a non-gender specific version of this? I am a mom to boys and am a girl working in tech. I don't understand why it needs to say for girls
