2021 Youth Leadership

Andy Mach 

Andy is a lead demonstrator for Robogals Monash, a volunteer non-profit organisation where Lego Mindstorms robots are used to introduce students to STEM concepts, while highlighting the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

Leading a team of 400 Robogals Monash volunteers, Andy ran 80 hours of workshops and assisted in the training of an additional 145 new volunteers to contribute to the Robogals mission.

Andy’s drive, encouragement and constant support of the volunteers, saw him promoted to the chapter’s training manager and, later, president of Robogals Monash.

The program has attracted a large interest from primary and secondary schools within the Monash community and for June 2020 June to June 2021, going through three lockdowns, Andy’s team taught a total of 1700 students.
