Re: Q&A Discuss: Girls on Teams
 

The funny thing is that two years ago in 2006 I was the ONLY girl on our team. (Boy was THAT interesting)

But this year almost half our team is comprised of females and the change is wonderful. Girls on the team range in all kinds of interests. Some do photography, some do communications and safety, but most of them are involved in SOME aspect of the robot.

In fact our entire electrical section this year was done by ONLY girls. Talk about Girl POWER!! (Hahaha very punny!!)

I can't imagine things being any differently and as a senior and the last original girl member of the team I couldn't be happier to see these changes. :P

As Katie said below there are only 3 girls out of about 20 students on team 1675.

Each of the girls put in 100% effort and does what ever needs to be done on the team. The boys have never said you can't do this because you are a girl, and if the girls want to work in the shop then they are able to with no problems.

This year there were no constant girls in the pit, Katie was between scouting and the pit, Janelle was head of scouting, and I did media or chairmans depending on the regional.

We may fall into a stereotype, but that would only be if we sit down and let the boys tell us we can't do something, and if they did that.. well it wouldn't go over very well with any of us. :rolleyes:
