22岁华裔女孩, 好样的! 她2008年创立Robogals Global, 鼓励女生对科学,工程领域的兴趣, 现在已经在全世界六国有17家分支机构.
The Young Australian of the Year 2012 is 22 year old engineering advocate Marita Cheng of Brunswick East whose leadership is changing the occupational landscape for women by encouraging girls to pursue engineering studies and careers.
The daughter of Chinese parents, Marita was born and raised in Cairns, Queensland and now studies at the University of Melbourne.
While still a university student, Marita Cheng has demonstrated vision and leadership well beyond her years and is dedicated to encouraging young women to become interested in an engineering career.
She founded Robogals Global in 2008, as a response to the traditionally low levels of participation by women in science, engineering and technology. Robogals Global uses fun and educational activities to teach secondary school girls about science and technology. By 2010, Robogals had run workshops for 3,000 girls in Australia and has now expanded to 17 branches across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
Marita’s own career path includes studying for a Bachelor of Engineering and a Bachelor of Computer Science on a Paterson Scholarship. She has been a recipient of the Nancy Fairfax Churchill Fellowship, an International Youth Foundation Youth Action Net Fellowship and an Anita Borg Change Agent Award.
Marita has also been a panellist on ABC TV’s New Inventors and hopes to become the founder of a robotics company, creating robots that will take care of many everyday and mundane tasks.
