"I was always creating buildings as a kid, mainly for my Barbies" - Melissa-Paige

"My school marks weren't high enough for an engineering degree but UTS were offering bonus points for women going into engineering and they also had bonus points for non-school leavers. I ended up really loving it - I worked hard and graduated with the university medal at the end!" - Pip

"I played the sims and to be completely honest I think this was an 'ah ha' moment!" - Stephanie

“You are good enough and worth the new opportunities. Be in it to win it!” - Jenny

“I entered junior robot wars in high school with a robot called ‘Retiarii’, which is Latin for ‘net fighter’, because we had this huge net on a robot that would capture our opponents. They would tend to get stuck on the net and burn out their motors trying to escape.” -Sarah
