#GIRLSWITHDRILLS IS FIGHT FOR INCLUSIVITY
We think making stuff is too much fun for any child to be excluded. So we’re doing something about it. We both love inventing and making. More important than our love for tinkering are the confidence and problem-solving skills we’ve gained through our hobbies.
#girlswithdrills was born after we found shared frustrations over the lack of confidence in children, and especially girls, we work with. We want to start a conversation. Why are so many people not able to access the vital skills needed for them to thrive in the future?!
We believe that by giving children equal access to making, we’re helping them gain the skills they need for careers they otherwise wouldn’t consider. We are encouraging tomorrow’s inventors, programmers and tinkerers. Afterall, many of today’s children will have jobs that don’t yet exist.
