Meet Computer Engineer Barbie!
That’s right, everyone – we won the vote! Mattel has announced that Barbie’s 126th career path will be that of a computer engineer. This new techie Barbie comes equipped with a laptop, a Bluetooth headset, chic glasses, and a shirt that reads “Barbie” over and over in binary code.
Mattel worked with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) to develop the doll, and in a press release, the President of SWE, Nora Lin said:
“All the girls who imagine their futures through Barbie will learn that engineers — like girls — are free to explore infinite possibilities, limited only by their imagination. As a computer engineer, Barbie will show girls that women can turn their ideas into realities that have a direct and positive impact on people’s everyday lives in this exciting and rewarding career.”
