General Info

Welcome! The Gael Force Robotics 2024 Girl Powered Workshop is a day-long student-led engineering and robotics event meant to touch on the foundational skills of robotics. With members from a variety of backgrounds, Gael Force Robotics (GFR) aims to promote the diversification of STEM by introducing robotics to female and nonbinary-identifying students. This workshop is open to incoming 6th to 12th graders of any skill level and has a registration fee of $20.

Our workshop consists of 4 different stations: Build, Programming, Design, and Strategy. The Build and Programming stations are interactive and meant to teach foundational skills essential to these aspects of robotics. The Drive and Game Strategy station will introduce participants to the VEX V5 Robotics Competition (V5RC) and guide them through gameplay. Our newest addition, the GFA station, offers participants a sample of GFA, a development program within GFR that is designed to familiarize new members with V5RC.

Overall, the GFR Girl Powered Workshop is meant to encourage ingenuity through enjoyable challenges and exercises and promote diversity. For questions or additional information, please reach out to us at [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you there!
