How do we combine sports, safety and science? g4g partnered with AIG Insurance Company to bring forth a morning of hands-on workshops to 90 girls aged 11-15 in London's OXO2 Tower! Click to view the full album!
The sessions included learning and experiencing cutting-edge technology behind the HAKA 360 Virtual Reality (including an intro from star All Blacks Rugby player Aaron Cruden), A Prize for Safety where the girls try on safety equipment and learn about the importance of a warm-up, guessing what's inside your 'excercise smoothie' during the nutrition break - Power from what you Eat, and finally interactively learning - Can Physics Help your Game? led by the g4g team!
