    Queen’s SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE 2016-2017 Robogals Queen’s Chapter Beamish-Munro Hall, 45 Union St, Queen’s University Kingston, ON K7L 3N6 [email protected] 1 Queen’s Table of Contents Letter from the President 1 About Robogals 2 About Robogals Queen’s Chapter 2 Your Contribution 3 Sponsorship Benefits 4 Sponsorship Form 5 1 Queen’s Letter from the President Dear Prospective Sponsor, Robogals is a volunteer, student-run organization dedicated to increasing female participation in engineering and technology-related studies. We seek to encourage young women to pursue higher education in these fields by running free, educational workshops for students in elementary schools and high schools. The Robogals chapter at Queen’s University has been making a positive impact in the Kingston, Ontario community since 2013. In the past three years, we have helped introduce over 500 young women to robotics and engineering. Many of these students have never had the opportunity to play with electronics before, let alone LEGO robots; but after a one-hour workshop with Robogals Queen’s they become completely comfortable with programming the robots. The success of our organization and our outreach is dependent entirely upon the financial and product support of corporations and private sponsors. We would like to ask that you consider becoming one of our 2017 Corporate Sponsors. As a sponsor, you will receive positive media attention from your associate with Robogals Queen’s, advertising opportunities for your company on Robogals Queen’s promotional materials and workshop equipment, as well as a number of levels of involvement at networking events.

A staple technology in science fiction for generations is getting closer to reality thanks to a small research lab in the Faculty of Engineering. Nanobionics bridges the gap between electronic and biological systems by using microscopic nanofibres one-thousandth the diameter of a strand of hair and combining them with synthetic DNA segments. Professor Wenlong Cheng and his team have already used this technology to create a flexible wearable sensor that could soon make the ubiquitous fitness wristband obsolete. But wearable technology is only a first-step to true integration. Imagine a day when tattoos are not just for aesthetic purposes. You could Contents have a kangaroo tattoo reporting all of your vital statistics to you or your doctor. Or you might decide that you use the logo of your favourite sports club.
