Spoke about my robotic arm at the G20 Brisbane Global Cafe.

After Utah, I flew to Lyon, France to speak at the World Entrepreneurship Forum. It was fantastic to meet with successful entrepreneurs from all over the world and share battle scar stories.

Went to Utah and spoke at the Girl Scout National Convention in front of 6000 young women from all over America. Pretty insane! The panel was called, "Real Girls Change the World".
Rehearsals the day before...


And the real thing!


Robogals Asia Pacific SINE Perth 2014. 120 participants from Australia, Philippines, Japan, New Zealand and China. Our biggest SINE to date!
SINE stands for Seminars Inducting New Executive Committee Members. We hold the SINE annually in each of our regions - Asia Pacific, North America, Europe/UK. Executive committee members from each of our chapters attend to get trained in running Robogals chapters, to compare notes on best practices for running a chapter and to network with like-minded peers from all across the region.

Q&A on ABC alongside two Nobel Laureates: Peter Doherty and Brian Schmidt, Chief Scientist of Australia Ian Chubb and respected microbiologist Suzanne Cory.
