Switch


Alison Lewis has launched - as we would say here in Ireland - "a lovely" website... No seriously it is brilliant.
SWITCH is an online Do It Yourself show where she and her friends focus on teaching young women about electronics through fashion and design. I'm usually not very enthusiastic about "girls only" project. But it is true, there's a real work of education to do in that direction... Technology for boys and Hairbrush for girls? I don't think so!
Check out the first episode: Alison and Diana Eng create a talking frame (using "ingredients such as nail polish and a dental floss container and teaching girls to drill, extend and strip wires.)
