Computer Engineer Barbie won with over half a million votes

Posted: February 12th, 2010, 9:09pm CET by Clo Willaerts

From the press release:

Kicking off a year-long, global brand initiative to inspire girls of all ages, Barbie unveiled her next career today at the 2010 American International Toy Fair. For the first time ever, Barbie called on consumers to help her select her next career. After more than a half million votes were cast, Computer Engineer Barbie topped the popular vote, while girls selected News Anchor as Barbie doll’s next career. Computer Engineer Barbie is set to debut this winter, featuring a binary code patterned T-shirt and all of the latest gadgets including a smart phone, Bluetooth headset and laptop travel bag. Both dolls are available for presale now at www.mattelshop.com.

Some people might suggest that it was an online voting round which was quite easy to … manipulate, especially by geeks, but the interesting part is: these dolls might actually inspire girls to choose for a career in ICT.

UPDATE from 5 Ideas to Make Computer Engineer Barbie More Realistic @ Wired.com:

5. The choice between Mac Computer Engineer Barbie, Windows Computer Engineer Barbie, and Linux Computer Engineer Barbie. Then they could publicize the sales figures daily to encourage geek parents to buy the version they want to win for their kids.

Cast your vote for Computer Engineer Barbie

Posted: January 21st, 2010, 10:52am CET by Clo Willaerts

Found at [www.barbie.com] :

“Computer engineers have lots of different specialties. They can do anything from building coputers to making video games!”

The next Barbie could be an environmentalist, a surgeon, an architect or a news anchor. But if you help with this vote, Barbie’s next career could be in IT!

Mattel decides on February 12 what Barbie will be next. I can hardly wait.
