Montreal, Quebec -- (SBWire) -- 03/20/2015 --This project is the brain-child of the parents of a seven-year-old girl looking for inspiring role models for their daughter. The Québec based couple decided to focus on great women in science because these scientists rarely received the recognition they deserve. In addition to creating an inspiring card game for the kids, the duo has also tried their best to create a game that is fun and visually appealing.
Women in Science card game
- is an original, fun and educational card game
- familiarizes players with remarkable, often unknown, women of science
- offers inspiring role models for kids
- donates 20% of profits to organizations promoting women in science
The fundamental idea behind this project is to familiarize the young players with women that have contributed immensely to the field of science without receiving any recognition whatsoever. The creators look at this project not only as a question of fairness and gender equality, but also as an opportunity to offer role models with whom young girls can identify.
Benoit Fries needs funding support for the launch of this project. All funds received via Indiegogo will be spent on printing the cards. With a larger order volume, they will be able to minimize the cost per pack of cards. To start with, Benoit wants to order at least 1000 packs, and this is what the raised funds will pay for.
The funding goal of this project is $3,000, and this campaign will close on April 15, 2015.
