From September to December 2019, Al Jazeera English followed me around and filmed an update on all my projects: Robogals, Aipoly, Teleport, my speaking and my latest robot arm Jevaroo. They launched it worldwide on 9 March 2020. It’s lovely that Al Jazeera were able to come and capture this moment in time. The theme for the documentary series was Women Make Science and featured 5 stories from around the world.
Forbes named me a world's top 50 woman in tech & 30 Under 30. I founded Robogals and Aipoly and was Young Australian of the Year 2012. Currently working on robotics company Aubot. I'm the youngest Member of the Order of Australia (AM) and I give speeches around the world.
