curious minds.

We are the Valkyries.
An all-girls robotics team.
At Rotorua Girls’ High School, robotics brings ideas to life. The Valkyries is where an interest in technology meets the creativity and collaboration of a team.
From a first question to a working solution, there’s room for different ways of thinking. Because great ideas can start with anyone.
