The Australian Department of Home Affairs decided to celebrate the Australian of the Year awards with this short animated video of past award winners. It was fun to see myself in cartoon! (I’m at 1:24).
About Me
Forbes named me a world's top 50 woman in tech & 30 Under 30. I founded Robogals and Aipoly and was Young Australian of the Year 2012. Currently working on robotics company Aubot. I'm the youngest Member of the Order of Australia (AM) and I give speeches around the world.
I tweet @maritacheng and I'm on Facebook.
