Barbie adds STEM leaning with her new Barbie STEM kit.

Science Saves the Day! (Hopefully.) The new Barbie STEM Kit is story based and aimed at girls. The idea is that the Annual Animal Shelter Gala is just hours away! Girls have to help Barbie and her friend Nikki prepare for the party as they learn important STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) skills. A full-color storybook manual guides their journey through seven building projects and more than seven experiments. They build a spinning closet rack, washing machine, jewelry holder, hammock, dress designer platform, shoe rack, and greenhouse with fan. And they make a chromatography dress, leaf-print dress, and optical-illusion origami dresses. The kit lets them build one project at a time since many of them use the same pieces. MSRP: $29.99, but it's already at Target for $24.99. It's on Amazon for more than the retail price, so don't buy it there until it's in wider distribution and the price drops. That should should have in September 2016.
