Our team wouldn't be able to survive without one of our female members, who runs the meeting 75% of the time, and gives 105% to our team.
Hey now, some of our greatest button makers have been the boys! It's not just a job for the girls.

Why do we classify jobs like this to different genders? Would you then say that the PR/Marketing department is just for girls and that the boys are the only ones that are allowed to build the robot and be in the shop? One of our greatest PR/Marketing leaders was a guy, who has been very VERY successful in this field, he will be graduating at the top of his class in college, and has taken what he learned as our teams leader and applied that to the concept of being the student body president in college. He was a phenomenal leader to our team. As well, we have had outstanding females that worked down in the manufacturing department that could "show the boys up" in that field as well. No department or job on any team should be boy or girl designated.
