About Us | Girl Power

Welcome! We are Girl Power*, and we will be documenting our Making and Tinkering journey in this blog.

Our group consists of the following members:

Nadya Yuki Wangsajaya
Group Leader | Computer Science Year 1

Nang Kal San Hom
Planning and Safety Officer | Computer Science Year 1

Nathan Gunardi
Finance (Accounts) and Procurement | Chemical Engineering Year 1

Mridhula Maheshwaran
Secretarial Support and Records | Biological Sciences Year 1

Anthia Koh Xin Yee (Xu Xinyi)
Communications (Blog) | Biological Sciences Year 1

*Fun fact: our group name was suggested by Mr Gan, whom we were with during the course safety briefing as we were presenting our ideas to him. Except Nathan was unable to make it for this group meeting, so he thought we were an all-girl group.

We spent the day fiddling with the positions of everything in the entire set-up, trying to find an optimal position to maximise the number of pipette tips entering the ramp. We also tried to design a new funnel that would extend further into the wheel to catch more pipette tips, which did not end up … Continue reading Integrating everything (Part II)

We tested everything together, and it seems to work. We tweaked the set-up until we found a good placement of the funnel and a good angle of tilt for the refeeders. We also designed a new refeeder that failed to feed pipette tips into the wheel, so we abandoned the idea.
