Sounds like an awesome topic for the next cast.

If you're still taking suggestions for what to discuss in the cast, I'd be interested in hear of how other teams get girls involved in FIRST, and then keep them integrated and interested in the program. Of the two teams I've been on, I don't think there's ever been a number of girls I need two hands to count at any point.

I also have a friend who mentors on 2340, Rochester's all girl team, and she was telling me how they barely have the minimum number of students: Just enough to form a drive team and a safety captain. If you have anyone on the cast speaking about the dynamics of single gender teams, I'd love to hear from them as well.

Can't wait for the cast. Hopefully I can catch it live. Otherwise, I can't wait to hear the recording.
