This #MondayMailbag warmed even the Pedantic Astronomer’s heart! (Links added by me):
My name is Nicholas and my daughter Diana love science. She wants to learn as much as she can to become a "roller coaster engineer and astronaut", she already builds her own robots, roller coaster models, codes, star watches, and many more experiments. We learned about Startorialist from @startalkradio (listen to the episode here! -E), which we listen to every week. Diana found some clothes she want to show off to you. She was so happy to be able to get clothes like these and now wants to find some accessories to go with it for the March for Science. She had a question to ask you as well; she was wondering if any clothing has solar cells on them to help make power?
Diana’s tank top and leggings are from “tween brand” Justice, which is new to me but just jumped to the top of my “I’m Not Too Old For This, Right?” list. On a quick search I found a hair bow, sequin Saturn tee, and earrings, and I will most certainly be posting more soon!
To answer Diana’s questions: you have come to the right place for science-y accessories! For a budding engineer, @sci-chic leaps to mind (gears! stars! everything from our collaboration!) for fun jewelry, and their new subscription boxes provide themed surprises every month.
Second question: there is indeed clothing (and accessories, and more!) with solar cells, mostly for charging your phone, but also for storing and converting to heat on demand.
Diana, we cant wait to see what you discover and create!
