The fun hands-on day will provide information about various disciplines of
engineering and some of the many opportunities it offers to females. The day
will start with an information session followed by a robotics workshop. The
final segment of the day will be a series of challenges with increasing
levels of difficulty.

The Robogals Robotics competition is an excursion that I have taken students
to for a couple of years. The students from each school don¹t stay together
as a team which is fantastic because they are then encouraged to meet other
students who are interested in science and work with them to solve the
various problems that they are given. It is a really valued part of our
curriculum because the students are at a university campus, working with
engineering students who are great role models, and doing science that is
fun and challenging. It ticks all the boxes for encouraging students to
continue with Science into VCE.
