Speaking Of Lebanese Girl Geeks

Check out this incredibly inspiring story of 28-year old Ayah Bdeir, who quit a high-paying corporate job and founded a business which makes electronic kits for aspiring inventors:

Bdeir had the idea, in collaboration with a colleague, of making electronics components into Lego-like bricks that could be used by anybody, even the technically ungifted. She would make sets of self-contained bricks, filled with circuits, sensors, solar panels and motors that could be snapped together to create basic machines […] She would eventually turn the brick project into a business, selling $99 kits, called littleBits, for people to make their own crude gadgets
