Science and Gender: Undermining stereotypes through robotics and engineering

A group of students attending the University of Malta Cottonera Resource Centre were taught engineering and robotics through the use of drama

Drama and robotics will be used to help encourage participants to explore their identity and social expectations. The students actively participated in robotics workshops where they created their own robots which they controlled through coding and engineering. In parallel, drama sessions were used to explore identity and social expectations. The two disciplines were also merged cleverly through the use of narrative in performance where the students let their imagination flow as they created a different world filled with various technological gadgets. 

This project is supported by the Kreattiv Fund.
