Bridging the Gender Divide: Toys That Build STEM Skills

From chemistry to construction, toys have prepared generations of kids to pursue careers in STEM fields. This exhibition shared how these toys, once marketed primarily to boys, have evolved to encourage all children through play to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Bridging the Gender Divide also featured engaging interactive elements, including an HO-scale working model train, arcade station, and a matching game coloring book highlighting accomplishments by women in STEM over the past 200 years.
