ZEST Robotics is hosting a girls-only intermediate robotics workshop to give young girls the skills they need to jumpstart their FIRST LEGO League Legacy! Throughout the workshop, participants will develop problem-solving skills when they come face-to-face with unique robotics and coding challenges from the FLL season, "City Shaper".

Throughout the day we will focus on our core 5; resilience, friendly competition, cooperation, challenge and of course, fun. This workshop is designed for intermediate girls, aged between 9-14. We'd love to meet you, so join us! We have one thing in common... Girl Power!

What to expect:

1. Workshop participants will revise the fundamentals of LEGO Mindstorms coding and explore unique codes to solve complex problems.

2. Participants will have the opportunity to use LEGO Technic to enhance EV3 robots. This includes details as to how to optimise motors, sensors and attachments to make their robot perform specific tasks.

3. Over the day, we will apply our core 5 to create a fun, safe learning environment.

Laptops and robots will be provided.

What to bring:

- Lunch and water bottle

A bit about us:

ZEST Robotics are ambassadors for all things girls! We love robotics and our girls-only workshops are not the first time we have had the opportunity to share our passion for STEM. We have competed internationally, as we recently travelled to America to attend the FIRST LEGO League World Festival Houston. Our team, RoboRoyals came second in the global competition, and have been crowned Australian champions. Over the course of three years, we’ve attended over 25 immersion days, robotics volunteering events, and collaborated with local universities to deliver high-quality robotics education to young aspiring girls.

We know that engineering, science and technology is the future. And we also know that the future is female. What is important is that we can equip today’s young minds, with the knowledge, skills and confidence that tomorrows leaders, engineers and scientist need. ZEST Robotics is the first stepping stone to a world of opportunity for all girls alike.
