Robogals - Robotic Workshop.




Robogals are an international university run organisation that aims to engage school children in engineering, robotics and computers. The long term goals of the organisation are to increase enrolments in engineering, science and technology.

Robogals have been featured on many Primetime TV shows including The Project and the ABC.

In the workshops the children are taught to construct and program LEGO NXT robotic kits, the lessons have been tailored in a way to remain fun, creative and informative.





Marita Cheng founded the Robogals in 2008 at the University of Melbourne and now has over 18 Chapters worldwide. In 2012 Marita was recognised for her work with Robogals and won the Young Australian of the Year.
