According to its vision statement, “Beauty and the Bolt, centered on the idea that Brilliant is Beautiful, aims to make learning engineering easy, inexpensive, and accessible for anyone.” With that goal in mind, Beauty and the Bolt has: a blog post that lists women who teach STEM on YouTube, a map to find makerspaces around the world, and some fun STEM merchandise. There are also a few STEM lesson plans. One of the most expansive resources Beauty and the Bolt offers is its video channel on YouTube, with over 50 DIY and educational videos.
My favorite piece of merchandise on the Beauty and the Bolt site is a 2020 calendar called, “Princesses with Power Tools.” The calendar features 12 inspiring women who are involved in STEM careers, creatively and colorfully photographed as princesses. Unfortunately, the site states that it is sold out. I sent an e-mail to find out if it will become available again, and will update this post if I learn any more details.
