Officeworks got in touch to film this short content editorial piece.
They filmed a Robogals workshop in Melbourne, our Jevaroo robot in action and an interview with me.
The aesthetics of this 2-minute piece turned out really nicely!
They also did a Q&A with me about my motivations and journey from my childhood in Cairns and how I progressed from there! You can access the Q&A here.
