Only 22% of the STEM workforce is women and only 36% of science PhDs in Canada are earned by women, showing little change over 20 years. Canada's Science Minister launched a national campaign to encourage more young women to enter STEM fields by engaging girls in STEM early through various channels. STEM toy companies are designing toys to specifically engage girls in an effort to increase the number of women in STEM careers.

1. Only 22% of the STEM workforce is made up of women.
Only 36% of PhDs in science in Canada are earned by women.
“We are trying to increase the number of women getting into
science but the statistics haven't changed in 20 years.”
Maryse Lassonde, Scientific Director at Quebec’s Ministry

2. Canada’s Science Minister Kirsty Duncan marked the
International Day of Women and Girls in Science by announcing
the launch of an engaging national campaign to encourage young
women to enter science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) fields.
"Many of the barriers girls and women face in STEM can be broken
down through positive action. This means engaging girls in STEM early
and often through as many channels as possible—both inside and
outside school. It will take an attitudinal shift among parents,
educators and employers, but it can be done.“
Jennifer Flanagan, President and CEO, Actua

5. The Engino® Range starts with Qboidz for 2+ years through Inventor to Discovering Stem
which provides significant differentiation from our competitors in terms of Build Structure,
Education and Quality.
ENGINO® TOY SYSTEM is perhaps the most advanced and versatile three dimensional
construction toy in the market today, offering unique opportunities for both children and
adults alike. The toy comprises of a system of multi-faceted rods and connectors that share
some unique geometrical features that allow connectivity up to 6 sides simultaneously.
In essence, this patent-pending design transforms rods into connectors, leading to builds that
may be either dense or with large openings. This feature alone enables children to build fast
and easy, simple or complex models, using a very low number of different components and a
much lower quantity of parts.
Once built, all models are tough enough for every day robust play !

6. The 3D model viewer application shows step by step
instructions for the main models along with many other
models which are continually updated.
The user selects which model they want to view and then can
rotate the model to see it from various angles, zoom in to see
the connecting details and explode the model to see how
each part connects to the other one.

Qboidz™ features a new patented design that combines stacking blocks with clicking! Enhance children’s creativity
with this amazing learning tool and watch them build away. Construction play is beneficial for preschoolers as it
helps them to develop their cognitive, social and motor skills, by linking imaginative play with 3D model creation. All
models are available as interactive 3D instructions viewed either from a PC or smartphone and tablet through the
ENGINO® 3D View app.
The Qboidz™ building system is designed for preschool
children based on the latest STEM principles. The system
enhances creativity and imagination by combining the
ENGINO® snap-fit technology with traditional stacking
connectivity. Kids can build many different models from the
same set, while developing their dexterity skills and
perception of three-dimensional space.

many graphics, images and animations and printable quizzes for each subjects, so that teachers can evaluate what their
students have learned.

24. Engineering has evolved rapidly over the last decade and most design process in real life is carried out on PCs
using specialized software, such as CAD programs. Children should familiarize themselves with the virtual
three-dimensional space and learn basic CAD commands such as rotate, zoom, explode and implode. This 3D
builder software contains a comprehensive library of all the ENGINO® parts. Users can select virtual connecting
points to construct easily any model of their own! Students or teachers also have the ability through the
software to export their models to a social media dedicated website, where others can view, rate and
comment, sharing work and ideas.
With a simple click, the Bill of materials pops up
showing which parts and in what quantities were
used to build the model.

25. A key element of any robotics system is the programming software. ENGINO® has developed a special software that allows 4
different methods of programming depending on the user’s needs and capabilities. The robot can also be programmed
manually using the onboard membrane buttons. The software is used for editing the program and adding complex functions.
In addition ERP can be controlled from smart-phone devices through Bluetooth connection. Apps are available for free in
Google Play and Apple store.
The ENGINO® Robotics Platform (ERP) is specially designed for Primary and
Secondary school children and even for robotic hobbyists! It takes into
