2025 Tech Excursion · Robotics & Automation

Girls in ICT Club:
From Curiosity to Creation

A hands-on learning journey where girls encountered robotics, industrial automation and practical engineering—and saw themselves not simply as users of technology, but as future builders, problem-solvers and leaders.

Learning beyond the classroom

Technology became real, human and possible.

The 2025 excursion extended the Girls in ICT Club experience into a practical technology environment where participants could observe systems, ask questions, work safely with equipment and take control of real machines.

Guided demonstrations transformed complex ideas into memorable experiences. Each encounter strengthened technical curiosity, confidence, teamwork and the belief that girls belong wherever tomorrow is being designed.

See technology in action

Participants encountered mobile robotics and automation as working systems rather than abstract classroom ideas.

Learn through participation

Supervised controls and practical demonstrations gave learners safe, direct contact with engineering tools.

Connect with mentors

Experts explained processes, modelled safety and made technical careers feel visible and achievable.

Grow confidence together

Shared discovery helped club members support one another, ask stronger questions and imagine ambitious futures.
