About Robotify
Robotify is revolutionising code learning through physically accurate in-browser robot simulations, 3D environments and gamified project based learning. By 2034, 47% of all jobs will be automated and replaced by robots. This means that we must help the next generation to learn how to control these robots and learn how to code. Using Robotify, students have access to the latest and greatest robots without having to ever purchase real hardware. We can give students access to robots and environments that have never been accessible before through the browser.

About Ladies that UX
Ladies that UX are an inclusive community that aims to promote diversity, female talent and equal gender ratio, with a growing number of local groups based in cities worldwide.
Each city runs slightly different events, and each group decides what they want to get out of their get-togethers. Sometimes there’s a speaker or a theme, sometimes we just eat, drink, and see where the conversation goes. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, and if you want help with a particular UX challenge, you’ll find plenty of willing problem-solvers.
In a sector with a high proportion of men in it, Ladies that UX is all about giving women the chance to meet up to support each other, push the UX boundaries, and promote female skill and talent.
