Re: Request for data on impact of FIRST for Women in Technology
Thank you all for the quick replies and information, very helpful stuff. It should have been obvious that the FIRST community would be the best place to start.
Unfortunately the information is needed almost immediately since the panel discussion is on Saturday.
Even so it is an area of interest to me so I may pursue the data and people's findings further if for no other reason to strengthen our own team. My working hypothesis is that we want to work with bright and talented people, albeit with possibility some guidance and mentoring may be needed. Since there is absolutely no reason to think that young women can't be bright and talented, yet they are statistically underrepresented on our team as well as in engineering, one can only conclude there is an untapped resource pool that could be of benefit to all.
