Citation:
For their participation in Women in Tech Challenge: - 200 girls taught over 2 days, in a one hour workshop - A rating of 8.5/10 on the feedback survey made Robogals the 2nd highest-rated activity of the whole event! The highest was 8.6/10. - Also in the feedback from the whole event, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering were voted as the 2nd and 3rd most interesting topics by the girls, no doubt because of the Robogals activity :)
