Whether fixing, hacking or redesigning things, moms have a knack for finding solutions and achieving feats of greatness on the daily. Just in time for Mother’s Day, we’re teaming up with GE to highlight innovative tech tools perfect for moms who like to problem solve and hack everyday life. We want these tools to help our Moms unleash her inner engineer so she can build her everyday creations stronger, faster, and smarter.
Read on to see what all the fuss is about — and to see how to get two FREE electronics and coding classes courtesy of Brit + Co, GE and Girl Develop It.
While some people know GE as a company that makes light bulbs and washing machines, the GE we know is an advanced engineering company that makes jet engines, wind turbines, power systems, and next-generation healthcare equipment — also known as badass products and technologies that are actually changing the world. Hence why we’ve partnered with them to inspire the next generation of engineers and encourage STEM skills for both men and women.
Innovations in new materials, design processes, production techniques and data analysis are transforming what the world can make and how we make it. With companies like GE leading the way, now, more than ever, it’s important to encourage our future engineers to be part of this great transformation and find solutions to the world’s toughest problems.
Throughout this series with GE, we’ll be telling the stories of some seriously badass female engineers, sharing life hacks and blowing your mind with gadgets that already exist and technologies that are soon to come. As you get to know these women, you’ll see that you too can invent and make technologies that could change the world, even in your everyday life.
You can keep your eye on all of this good stuff by bookmarking the brand new Brit x GE page in your browser.
One important component of this partnership is a brand new collection called The Maker Shop. Curated in collaboration with GE, this collection brings together innovative products that will inspire women to hack their everyday lives. Through encouraging women to think of products in new ways, we’ve designed this collection to spark creativity and invention. After all, we’re in an era where what it means to hack, make and build is constantly being redefined. It’s up to all of us to go forth and make badass sh*t! :)
