Robogals, engaging girls in robotics.
Robogals Inc. is a not-for-profit organization, which aims to increase the number of girls undertaking science, engineering and technology courses at university. Robogals does this by engaging girls in robotics from a young age in a way that is fun and educational. The volunteer university students are trained in LEGO robotics and then visit schools to teach LEGO robotics to the students.
Robogals was founded in July 2008, and within three weeks, had enlisted the help of 80 university students. Within the next 2.5 months, Robogals taught over 120 girls from 7 schools in the state of Victoria, Australia. Since the founder moved to London, she has set it up in the United Kingdom, while the organisation has been successfully continued in Victoria, Australia, supported by the University of Melbourne and its students.
This organization has an international reach, operating in Australia and the United Kingdom.
