2021 Calendar sales have ended, but you can still donate a 2022 calendar to a classroom!
What makes this calendar so special?
We set out to create a calendar featuring the classic Princesses many of us grew up with. Too often, young girls are presented with the idea that they can be either a princess or an engineer: we are proving they can be both. Our Princesses with Power Tools Calendar is a perfect example of that-- featuring 12 incredible women in STEM and the Trades doing their work in a princess gown.
Inspired by Beauty and the Bolt's incredibly popular #PrincessesWithPowerTools program which has taught nearly 5,000 kids to use their first power tool, this one-of-a-kind calendar is back! Reinvented Magazine is partnering with Beauty and the Bolt this year to get the calendars to even more students and teachers in 2021!

Meet the 2021 Princesses
Computer Scientist and Hack of All Trades
After building her first droid, Estefannie found herself drawn into a galaxy of electronics. Despite dismissing herself as not an ‘electrical engineer,’ she learned that her life was being shaped by a mysterious newfound inner power of the ohm. As a scavenger of old electronics, she has learned how to hack things together and bypass a resistor when needed. And by trusting the power of the ohm, no matter how difficult a problem may seem, Estefannie knows that she will figure things out. Even though she is committed to the ohm, she often feels the pull of the dark side: the power of the git.
Estefannie was born on the planet Mexico and set out to find the world of the USA to start her training in computer science. As a former software engineer and scavenger, she uses her engineering skills and the power of the ohm that awakened within her to hack anything in her imagination and document it on her YouTube and Instagram channels: Estefannie Explains It All.

Arctic Climate Scientist
Some things never change, like Kimberley’s love of exploration! Kimberley travels to the Arctic to study water quality, explore, and map how the Arctic is changing from climate warming. As a scientist, Kimberley uses satellites, radio towers, and climbing gear to look at the changing Polar North. All of these tools provide information about how fast the ice and permafrost is melting and what animals and plants will be most impacted. She has worked on projects in Antarctica, Alaska, Mt. Everest, Canada, Switzerland, Italy, and, soon, Mars! When Kimberley isn’t exploring, she loves to read books about werewolves and bake cookies with fun fillings. Everyday, Kimberley’s work takes her into the unknown to find answers about the future and how climate change will affect the whole world.
Space Mission Analyst
Caeley is constantly seeking adventure in the great, wide universe. With her heart amongst the stars and her nose constantly in a book about space, she is a Space Mission Analyst. Crafting up stories and scenarios about spacecraft and space missions is her superpower. She is fearless in the face of beastly problems like deriving mathematical formulas and launching satellites into an orbit around the Earth. While her office may look a lot like a library, she can usually be found working out space mission problems on her computer, making sure there are no new bugs that weren’t there before.
Once the last rose petal has fallen at the end of the workday, Caeley becomes the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Reinvented Magazine. When she’s not mapping orbits or managing a nonprofit, she can be found playing with her two fluffy dogs, running half marathons, or watching rocket launches.

Light Artist
You can usually find Erin in her workshop, tinkering on her latest project. Her job as a Creative Engineer at Adafruit.com keeps her busy coming up with new ideas. She uses science, art, and electronics to make magical things: mermaid tails that light up and crystal gems that glow and change colors - and just about anything else she can imagine!
She uses her creations to teach younger makers how to build things that light up and move using electronics and computers. Erin believes that there’s magic in everything, especially in nature, and it’s our job to discover how it works by learning as much as we can about science and technology.
When she’s not making things, Erin enjoys reading books, having adventures, dancing, swimming in her mermaid tail, and being upside down. She also loves early mornings and dressing up in costumes with her friends.

Neuroscientist
Magic mirror on the wall, who’s the brainiest one of all? Dr. Lataisia Jones is often found whistling while she works as a neuroscientist, studying the brain and how it functions. While her lab may not be filled with dwarves, her research helps the world understand the way people think and feel emotionally; whether they're happy, grumpy, or sleepy.
She not only has a passion for using her neuroscience skills for good, like lifting poison apple curses, but she often shares her knowledge with others who can continue in her footsteps. She believes that advocacy, STEM outreach, and mentorship are what makes one the fairest in all the land.

Fossil Preparator
With a passion for paleontology, Myria uses her skills as a fossil preparator to unearth the lost history of extinct animals. She excavates the fossils of creatures that lived long before her with rock hammers, brushes, and dental picks. Myria goes out into the field to search for and safely bring back fragile bones to her lab. In the lab, Myria makes remarkable discoveries by revealing the bones of dinosaurs and marine reptiles hidden in rock for millions of years through a big magnifying lens. Myria reads the bones for clues such as the shape, color, and texture that tell her about how these animals lived. When she’s away from the lab and back from the great outdoors, Myria goes dancing with friends and plays fetch with her dog, Buddy.
Archaeologist
Being an archaeologist is all about imagining what it would be like to be part of someone else’s world. As an archaeologist, Samantha studies the things people have left behind in order to understand how life used to be.
Archaeologists like Samantha use all kinds of gadgets to learn about the past! This includes everything from gizmos that map artifacts with lasers, to whozits that can tell what something is made of using X-rays, and thingamabobs to 3D scan artifacts or even whole archaeological sites.
When not out excavating, Samantha loves rock climbing, playing board games with friends, and using all the power tools she can get her hands on to complete DIY projects around the house.
