Female scientists will be the focus of a new Legos set this winter, the product of a contest in which six potential new Lego sets were put to a vote via social media. The winner was a set created by Ellen Kooijman, a geoscientist who put forth the idea to help spur interest in the math and science professions among girls.

Priced at $19.99, the set includes the three Minifigs, each with its own small scene.
