Great way to expose young people to possibilities. I had my 8 year old grand kids put the set together and as each 'character' was completed, I read the blurp included in the instruction manual. This lead to more questions than the blurp could answer By the end, the twins had written a short essay about their favorite Woman of NASA and my grand daughter is the newest fan of math. The set is simple to assemble and easy to display. The play that followed was satisfying to everyone. I would recommend this set to start discussions, especially with young women about the possibilities of future careers in the sciences and engineering.

Sure, I have a daughter and wanted to shower her with Lego since she was just a fetus. These sets (like Research Institute before it) are whatever from a diversity perspective, but let it be known that this set is fun to build and very cool. To be honest, I'm not familiar with any evidence-based reports that these kinds of sets inspired girls to go into sciences, but kids and Lego go together like two flat Lego pieces stacked on one another - don't need any science-based findings to know that! My son actually likes this set too, so don't be vulnerable to thinking that this set is ONLY for girls - it's appropriate for anyone: adults and kids alike, boys girls transgender what have you. If you see this set for sale (at a reasonable cost), get it NOW! Sure, getting a lot of gifts for little ones at the holidays might give them a heightened sense of entitlement; but consider doing what I do: get it now, and save it for any appropriate occasion. Love this set. cheers/dom222Read full review

Really cool set of mini figs. I like that it has enough pieces to make it fun to build and doesn't have a big footprint so it fits nicely on a shelf.

It's a Christmas present for very bright and energetic 8yr old. She also wants a telescope, too bad Lego has figured how to make a working one out of their millions of blocks! Would solve my problem!!
