It really would have been nice if the inventor of GoldieBlox had put her money where her mouth is, and hired women engineers to create this commercial. You know--BE the change you want to see! I love the idea behind this product, and perhaps she was on a tight deadline. But, this was a missed opportunity to HIRE female engineers, and showcase their creativity and talent. I still love this concept, and the end result of the commercial is awesome. I just hope that Debbie Sterling will consider hiring WOMEN ENGINEERS for her next ad. But, I do love this video. It just makes me sad to see ONLY MEN working on the production behind the scenes. Ms. Sterling missed a chance to make a profound statement. This product is a step in the right direction--encouraging and inspiring little girls to become engineers. Now, if we can only get the grown-ups to be REAL ROLE MODELS!
