#girlswithdrills was born after Ruth Amos & Kisha Bradley found a shared frustrations over the lack of confidence in children, and especially girls, around making and tools. They want to start a conversation. Why are so many people not able to access the vital skills needed for them to thrive in the future?!

Ruth & Kisha believe that by giving children equal access to making they are helping them gain the skills they need for careers they otherwise wouldn’t consider. They are encouraging tomorrow’s inventors, programmers and tinkerers. After all, many of today’s children will have jobs that don’t yet exist.

And don’t fret, just because they are campaigning under the banner #girlswithdrills, does not mean that everyone else is left out. You can do your bit to help. With every #girlswithdrills top purchased, Bright Box Makerspace will provide a young person in a disadvantaged area with a maker session free of charge. Please use these tops to start conversations with friends, strangers and loved ones about equal opportunity in making.

Find out more, join the campaign, support making and start a conversation.
