Thanks for hosting this discussion!
Rachel,

Here is a photo about the event along with a thread discussion. The thread is a good read and you will find similar comments in the thread that match some of the comments in the EWCP discussion.

If you don't have time to read the entire thread, skip to the last page and read posts #84 and #86. They are illuminating.

Here is a second photo/discussion about another all girls experience that Falcon Robotics decided to have. If I may express an opinion here, Falcon Robotics never seems to be too interested in conforming to a mold - they are interested in breaking it... and they succeed, oftentimes.

It would be interesting to know how many girls and women were actively participating in the EWCP discussion. Seems like there were lots of guys commenting...
