I was invited to Darwin for National Science Week on 19 August where I ran a robotics workshop for the kids. The next day, I gave a speech to 400 girls at the local state school.
I finally graduated! Stoked to give the valedictory speech at my graduation. I received a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics) and a Bachelor of Computer Science from the University of Melbourne. The first pic is of me and my mum, and the second is of a lectern towering before me!
Spoke in Hong Kong at the the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) on 9 July. The WAGGGS is the largest voluntary organisation dedicated to girls and young women.
