Supported by the Google Women Techmakers program, and the Griffith University School of Engineering, we will be presenting a full day series of mini workshops, for students from years 4-6, and years 7-9. These mini workshops will feature four different, hands-on activities, representative of the four most prominent engineering fields.  And our girls are invited.

The day itself will be competition-based in a round-robin style, and the girls will be encouraged to work in teams to complete the challenge tasks. These tasks include:

• Building the strongest bridge or most stable tower, to learn about statics and structural design
• Constructing a rubber band car, to learn about energy transformations
• Following circuitry design, to learn how electricity flows
• Programming a robot to exit a maze, to learn basic algorithmic design through trials

The details of the event are as follows:

• Date: Thursday 23rd January 2020
• Time: 9am - 3pm
• Who: Grades 4-6 female students 2020
• Where: Griffith University Gold Coast Campus
