Google Australia

Sally - Ann  Williams started at Google Australia as an engineer.  She was very engaging even via Skype from Australia.  Google Australia started with a little thing called Google maps. Check out the photos of their office.  Theres actually a part of a monorail in there!

They build global products.    She spoke about the careers of the future.  Sally-Ann shared about crisis mapping in the case of disasters. It helps find people and check they are safe.  It was used in Nepal most recently.  It provides two way mapping so people can find out about their loved ones even if they can't directly contact them.

There's cool technology to help people track diabetes with technology.

Self-driving cars were mentioned in a couple of the talks today.  Computer science +  engineering.  Check out the pic.
Biomechanics. These two guys have a new arm created by 3d printing! Nice one!
