Listen to the last episode:
When Marita was little, she thought robots could change the world, or at least do the dishes for her! But not many other girls thought the same. So, Marita started Robogals, a club to show girls they could work in robotics when they grew up. It started a global revolution. Written and narrated by 11-year-old Yashica Chauhan.
