The Girls Robotics Challenge, led by King's College London, is the UK’s first robotics competition for girls, focused on space-themed engineering tasks. Aimed at girls and non-binary students in Years 8–11, particularly from disadvantaged, state-funded schools, the project supports those at risk of disengaging from STEM. Participants will build robots, develop skills in coding, design thinking and teamwork, and gain a sense of belonging in engineering.
Engineers and teachers will receive training in public engagement, while students will be supported by mentors and ambassadors. The programme will include three events at King's College London, with resources shared nationally to inspire wider participation.
