General Info

To attend the Girl Powered 2024 Robotics Workshop hosted by Google, please register and pay the fees to confirm your slot. Please note: Students who don't meet the eligibility criteria, the registration will be canceled.

This event is focused on girls new to robotics having a chance to experience hands-on robotics in an inclusive environment to encourage them to explore an interest in STEM.

Google, in collaboration with the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (RECF), PwC US, India Community Center (ICC) and Team 315 Paradigm, is hosting the seventh annual in-person Girl Powered Robotics Workshop at ICC in Milpitas, CA, on August 3 & 4, 2024. The two-day workshop is focused on girls in grades 6 through 12. It offers students an opportunity to design and build a robot from scratch and experience first-hand the joys of solving real-world engineering challenges through friendly competition!

This event is intended for students with little to no experience in robotics, programming or related fields. It’s a great way to spark curiosity and introduce the students to STEM concepts and the growing field of robotics. Sessions are planned for a wide range of student experience levels and interests.
