Re: Does Affirmative Action fit under the values of FIRST
For 696, we'd of course like to have more girls on the team, but we're not favoring anyone or setting any hard numbers we try to meet. One thing I am doing however is to poll the physics teachers to see who their best students were. I will then reach out to these students individually to invite them to apply to the team in case they were otherwise unaware. However, they will not be given any direct priority or preference over others.
