“One of our teachers at school has Parkinson’s,” Tahlia said.
“We watched him slowly recede from the community.
“He loves the watch and he helps us to try and push it further.”
The girls are committed to seeing how their generation can have an impact in the community.
“I like the idea of being able to create something that can have an impact on people’s lives,” Tahlia said.
They have joined forces to create Gear Up Robotics and are hosting two school holiday workshops for girls from ages 8 to 14.
“The workshops are targeted at the age group so the girls can develop the skills and knowledge they need a lot early when it is easier for them to be welcomed into the stem community,” Tahlia said.
