Move over, Ken.

On Tuesday Mattel debuted its latest doll, Robotics Engineer Barbie, which it says is meant to show girls they can begin pursuing a career in the STEM fields science, technology, engineering and math right now.

The $14 doll, which is available in four skin tones, comes with her own safety goggles, a toy laptop filled with code and, of course, a robot. Mattel also partnered with Tynker an educational programming platform aimed at youngsters to create six free web classes where Barbie teaches kids how to animate a robot with commands.
