Ask HN: Next LEGOs after Lego Friends for girls?

So my daughter is loving the LEGO Friends builds, she spends hours building and playing with them. The other day she wished (asked…) for a robot in the shape of an animal that could replace her teddy. That got me thinking: what does LEGO have for girls who want to get into something technical (gears, engine, automation, etc) that is like Technics but without being racing cars, bulldozers and cranes? Maybe is not LEGO but another brand?
