Female Scientist LEGOs Created Due to Fan Demand

Little girls who aspire to do cool things in their adulthoods (most little girls) will now see more of those desires reflected in their LEGO characters.

LEGO has created a new kit called the Research Institute, which features female figures working in fields like paleontology, astronomy and chemistry. According to the official LEGO store, the kit was the brain-child of geoscientist Ellen Kooijman and selected by members of LEGO Ideas, an initiative allowing creators to vote on each other’s ideas for new sets.
