Want to get girls in the shop? I've noticed that treating them as competent individuals that are no different from boys works pretty well.

One of my mentors from 1675 once said to me "I don't see you as a girl and I don't see them as boys. I see you all as team members."

This method works pretty well, as I was involved with non-stereotypical roles. The team I currently mentor also used the same idea and the only girl on the team is heavily involved with the robot. She was the one who wired up the entire thing.
