GoldieBlox teamed up with the If/Then Initiative to bring you the YouTube series Fast Forward Girls. The show follows the journey of young women as they learn about the STEM in the real world by immersing themselves in it with the help of leading female innovators. In the Fast Forward Girls Spotlight, we take a moment to get to know those innovators a little bit better.

Vlada Bortnik is the CEO of the app Marco Polo and was featured in our Building Cool Apps and Coding the Future episode of Fast Forward Girls. Her engineering career all started with one of her toys and grew from there. Hear her story in our interview with her below!
