Video: Marita Cheng, engineer, Robogal and Young Australian of the Year 2012

I first discovered Robogals, a student club which would set up and run LEGO robotics competitions for girls’ schools around Melbourne with the view to encouraging more girls to study engineering at tertiary level, founded by Young Australian of the Year Marita Cheng in 2008, via The New Inventors... they are quite fantastic. Better late than never.

As a girl engineer & also as a girl that took lego robotics in college, this takes me back! I love how inspiring this is!
