In this episode of the Spitfire Take Flight podcast, we delve into the inspiring journey of the Halo Queens, the first all-girls team from Garsfontein High School to make waves in the robotics world. Competing in the 2023/2024 FIRST LEGO League Masterpiece Season, they emerged victorious at the Gauteng South Regional Competition and clinched second place at the South African National Competition. Now, they are set to represent South Africa on the international stage at the FIRST LEGO League Open European Championships in Bodo, Norway.

Join us as we explore their incredible achievements, including their mission to democratize robotics education across South Africa. The Halo Queens are not only building robots but also building a brighter future by creating a comprehensive website dedicated to promoting robotics in schools. This resource aims to educate parents, teachers, and students on starting robotics programs, listing schools involved in robotics, and facilitating the donation of pre-loved robotics equipment. Discover how these young innovators are making a significant impact and paving the way for more learners to engage in the exciting world of robotics.
