Marita Cheng was awarded the Young Australian of the Year 2012, for her efforts in encouraging young women to take up a career in engineering. In 2008, Marita established Robogals as part of this force of change, as a way to encourage and educate schoolgirls about engineering and how it can contribute to daily life. Robogals has operated workshops for 3,000 girls across 80 schools Australia wide. Marita is an incredible smart young lady and I'm very much looking forward to see what see will do in the future.
