It's got some interesting design decisions for what's potentially a cool classroom tool. If it appeals to girls that's great, but I'd have to hope it wouldn't actually repel the boys.
- alimw 10y agoI don't know who I've offended but I hope it wasn't the developers. I genuinely think this is very cool, and if I can get my boss on board I will try using it in my class.
- ocharles 10y agoProbably the sexist nonsense about pink appealing to girls and scaring off "the boys"?
- alimw 10y agoI think it is disgusting that you throw around accusations of sexism without foundation. I acknowledged ideas that children tend to have concerning sexual identity (as the designer of Ellie will have done, as anybody who wishes to address the issue of diversity in computing will have to do). I can assure you I played no part in inculcating them.
