Our favorite part of Maker Faire was the steady stream of parents with their daughters who had built Adafruit kits, watched “Ask an Engineer” and/or just wanted to meet “Ladyada”. Here’s a photo from Jeff that captures it nicely 
And on that note, a parent who watches “Ask an Engineer” with their kids each week said that their daughter asked the following question after seeing Ladyada and Amanda (w0z) on a few shows…

Ladyada is a goddamned hero in this respect. Well done.

Yah left the audio on in the chat when someone came up for a photo op! That’s just sweet! I got my start when I was 14 by a former EE and I am so happy to see that you are helping shape the next gen of EE!

To answer the question: Yes, there are a few male engineers but it’s a field predominantly filled with women. There are efforts to encourage boys to get into the field.

So true!
With a 10y old daughter, this kind of role model is exactly what the world needs!
Thank you for being who you are and sharing it with the world.
