This MIT Professor Created A DIY Disco Lamp To Inspire Girls To Study STEM

The Jubilite is an engineering kit that masquerades as a craft project. Developed by MIT professor Maria Yang, it’s a sneaky way to get girls excited about STEM fields—or help them realize that science, tech, and engineering are everywhere—under the guise of making a sweet party lamp. Most electronic maker kits on the market are aimed at boys, and while girls can certainly enjoy a good drone or robot, a DIY disco lamp is basically a dance party waiting to happen.
