Girls' Robotics at Grenoble Public School
North York, Ontario. December 17, 2024
On December 17, 2024, the Pink Titans mentored 45 girls in grade 5 on coding, building the LEGO SPIKE Prime robots, and gender equity in STEM at Grenoble Public School. Each of the Pink Titans coached pairs of girls. The girls built LEGO SPIKE Prime robots, then coded them to navigate through obstacle courses. Also, the pairs of the students programmed the robot to push as many cups out of the square arena as possible in the shortest amount of time. The day ended with the girls of the Pink Titans facilitating a reflection on how scientists are portrayed in society, and how we can change this to reflect more gender equity in science. Thanks so much Ms. Lin and Vice-Principal Haywood, and Principal Pouliot for the opportunity!
