You may have seen Roominate on Shark Tank a couple of years back, such a great business idea at the time that has grown so much and is doing great things. The idea behind Roominate is to get girls to think creatively, problem solve and learn to build things. The two founders of Roominate, Alice Brooks and Bettina Chen met and became friends in the master’s engineering program at Stanford. While they were pursuing their engineering program they realized just how few women were there. In the US, less than 15% of women enter college intending to major in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) field. Alice and Bettina believe the gender gap starts young. Many girls’ toys lag behind in the development of spatial skills, hands-on problem solving skills, and confidence with technology. These are exactly the skills that Roominate aims to develop.
For my Holiday Gift Guide this year we received the Roominate Townhouse to try out. Last year I reviewed the Studio and Roominate has since then developed an app for your phone or tablet that can be used with rPower to remotely control the motors, check out all of the features below.
- Create a multi-story building almost 2 feet high!
- Customize each room with themed stickers and craft paper
- Design endless creations with a complete set of Roominate furniture building pieces
- Add circuitry to make the Townhouse come alive!
- Use rPower (sold separately) to control the motor from your phone or tablet!
- Teaches: crafting, interior design, structural engineering
Mu niece, Jordan loved assembling the Roominate Townhouse and she thought it was great to see her creation come to life. Roominate also offers an Amusement Park, Schoolhouse, RV and several bundles that include the rPower Hub so you can use the app. Queen of Reviews has teamed up with the awesome folks from Roominate to offer a Townhouse to be given away to one of my lucky readers, just enter using the Giveaway Tools widget below and be sure to show Roominate some love on facebook, twitter and Instagram.
