Barbie, B. Eng?
Barbie's had many awesome careers over the years -- dog groomer, babysitter, hair stylist, and now... Computer Engineer? Pictured here is the newest addition to the “Barbie I Can Be…” collection, and the first profession ever chosen by popular vote, the Barbie I Can Be a Computer Engineer doll. This Barbie is probably exactly what you'd expect -- it comes complete with a cool pink laptop with case, a hot pink smartphone and a headset. Her outfit, in my opinion, is a bit goofy-nerd-chic -- a binary design t-shirt with leggings and pink sneakers. And as if she were my very own twin, hot pink square framed glasses! These dolls and their accessories were meant to empower girls to try out different roles and imagine themselves in many different professions, and Barbie has had a lot of them, from a student teacher in 1965 to a paratrooper in 2000, and everything in between. But now, I am happy to see Barbie make her way into the world of high tech! This digital girl also comes with a special code that unlocks online career content allowing for some computer play, and a Barbie I Can Be app for the iPhone! Barbie's a Computer Engineer now and you can be too! Visit TechCareers.com today to see what they have to offer in your field!
