Barbie is taking on a much more temporal role for the latest 'Career of the Year' position with the title game developer. The redesign showcases the classic children's doll dressed up as an expert online coder with a tablet, laptop and a set of headphones in tow. The new role points to the rapid growth of codes in the industry and an attempt to balance out the genders in a male-dominated industry.
Coding is one of the most vital jobs in the tech industry and one that is often filled by males. Barbie's latest role as a game developer encourages young females to aspire to be programmers in the highly requested and relevant job sphere. The doll comes complete with all the necessary tools to complete her job including a headset, computer accessories and coding graphics.
