Construction set:TinkerToy Pink Building Set

In the early years of the 21st century, toy manufacturers altered traditional construction sets like Tinkertoys, Lincoln Logs, and LEGO blocks to address concerns among parents and educators that too few girls imagine careers in the STEM fields-science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Adults hope that if girls play with toys that encourage the processes of problem-solving and scientific-inquiry, they will be comfortable pursuing jobs traditionally occupied by men.
