Girl Powered Robotics for Mother’s Day!

Kylie from Hutt City Libraries

Calling all wahine toa! Mums, stepmums, grandmothers, and aunts! Have you wanted to try your hand at building, coding, and driving a robot?

Bring along your 7-11 year old daughter, grand-daughter or niece to this free workshop and find out how much fun robotics is!

***Spaces are limited. Registration required. Book in by emailing LibrariesEvents@huttcity.govt.nz.***

Workshops will be facilitated by the team at Kiwibots, including female engineers so you can ask any questions you like of someone from the STEM space!

About Girl Powered Workshops:

The Girl Powered workshops are a supportive environment and opportunity to create awesome STEM experiences for girls that can lead to a better reflection of the diversity in our communities. Despite all genders showing equal interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in primary school, women only represent 30% of the STEM workforce.

These workshops by Kiwibots are a way for us to encourage inter-generational engagement in STEM, creating a safe space for our girls and encouraging them to take part and have a go. Join us for a fun robotics day out – no experience necessary and a fabulous opportunity to try your hand at robotics! We can’t wait to see you there.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
