Girls in Robotics Day - Micromelon Block-Coding Workshop

Robogals Brisbane invites you to attend our Girls in Robotics Day. 

This workshop aim to extend the students’ problem solving and engineering skills by working through a series of increasingly complicated tasks with Robogals' new Micromelon robots. Girls work in pairs to develop algorithms with block-base coding that will allow the robot to move, sense and respond to objects around it, and see colour. Suitable for students in grades 3 - 6 who  have no or little experience with robots and block-coding.

The workshop is also an opportunity to interact with university
students studying engineering and to meet other girls interested in
STEM. 

Pizza is provided as lunch for this event.
