Re: Gender Study About Robotics Teams

1. Orange Thunder, 2879
2. St. Louis Park, Minnesota (10,000 Lakes regional)
3. We don't have specific sections, but we've had one girl on the team at maximum: Camille graduated last year, and Ryan left for time reasons this year, but hopefully she'll join and stay next year.

1. Male
2. Father: Office manager-ish job Mother: Librarian, beading expert
3. I volunteer at the library
4. My brother is also on the team, likes engineering and environmental science, I think
5. Standard LEGO/K'nex/whatever and videogames

1. Because it looked like fun and the millions of dollars in scholarships
2. Gender bias? Maybe the culture's stay-at-home thing? I'm an engineer, not a sociologist, but I do know this is a problem.
3. I'm the captain, but also do mechanical/electrical and some CAD
4. MIT or Embry-Riddle, preferably Aerospace Engineering, then working in Lockheed Martin Skunk works or something similar
5. See 4. And I wanted to go into STEM because I'm around it basically all the time and like building things
6. Not really
