October 2011 Update

What a month October has been with term 4 beginning; the final stretch of the uni year. Robogals Adelaide has been very busy with holiday workshops, pancake fundraisers, engineering barbeques and the Uni's club association events. During the school holidays we were able to run robotics workshops with 114 students through the Gifted & Talented Children's Association, Maths Science Life Impact and Tech Schools workshops. The first week back at uni we held a pancake fundraising day on campus, as well as attending the Adelaide University's Engineering Society's term 4 BBQ. We work hard but we play hard too!

Robogals Adelaide sent a delegate to the Adelaide University Clubs Assocation's AGM to see our club receive full affiliation status with the CA. As well as this, some of our executive attended the CA's quiz night, as well as the CA's awards dinner night which was a masquerade theme. Although our success in the quiz night was somewhat questionable, we had a great time and followed this up with a big night at the dinner.

With exams around the corner, Robogals Adelaide will be winding things down so our volunteers can focus on their studies. We plan to have one more training session after exams and may be able to squeeze in a workshop or two in December before schools go on summer holidays. Over the summer break, our executive will be organizing what our plans will be for O-week. Any volunteers who would be willing to lend a hand at Adelaide Uni's O-week (translation: play with robots and chat to new students), should email Justina the marketing manager (me), at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Finally, welcome to Michael Tran who has been appointed to our executive committee as treasurer. Michael is in his honours year of Software Engineering and we are excited to have him on the team. Happy studying all!

September 2011 Update

Robogals Adelaide has a new executive committee! Say hello to Lily Guo, Anna Koefer, Anastasia Fragoulis, Saxon Douglass, Peta Johannsen and Justina Andrews. Contact details for each can be found here. We have some big shoes to fill after the last two years of success under the watchful eye of Sarah Cirillo, but are looking forward to the coming months and are hatching a few plans already.

The 2011 SINE ran over 24th-26th September hosted in our home city of Adelaide was a huge success, check out the photos to see just a few of the things we got up to. It was great to meet all the exec from the other chapters, and had a blast showing them around our beautiful city. Our very own Adelaide chapter won the award - "Biggest Impact - Honourable Mention", big claps all 'round ladies and gents! This was for the amount of workshops that we ran during the year, teaching robotics to both brand new schools and students as well as recurring workshops which involved more in depth programs.

Robogals Adelaide will be selling pancakes on campus on the first Tuesday back of term 4, 11th October. Come buy a pancake and help us raise some money so we can do some cool stuff in schools, communities, and for our fantastic volunteers. We'll also be making an appearance at the term 4 AUES barbeque on Friday the 14th October. Rumours are there may be a bouncy castle, so make sure you can come along and say hello! When more information is available about these events it will be posted to the events page.

Finally, a new Robogals Adelaide Facebook page has been created. The page will mostly be used to keep fans updated about what we've been up to and informing people about future events and opportunities. Go ahead and like us, as this will likely be the go-to for the most update information about our organization. See you soon!

O'Week 2011

It's just one week until the beginning of The University of Adelaide's Orientation Week 2011. We here at Robogals Adelaide will be using this opportunity to recruit volunteers for the year ahead,  engaging with some of the new students and telling people what we're all about. As always we're looking forward to new faces and fresh perspectives and ideas.
