A large part of our team is female, close to 30 of our 60 team members are girls. I personally do a lot of communications, media, scouting and awards work. About half of our build team is female. One of our two head coaches is a girl. I am one of the 3 female captains and there are 5 of us. OUr operator is a girl, and half of our pit crew are girls. My team has a history of having a lot of girls on our team, I think our mentors and coaches make a point of it when accepting new members. Our media and communications team is mostly girls however. I believe that may have to do with the fact that our only female coach and mentor is head of that area and girls are often more comfortable working with other girls, but thats just my opinion. Our scouting team is super mixed as well, about half and half. I'm really proud to be apart of a team where we never really think about someones position on the team and their gender relate. A lot of the girls on the have graduated from team have gone onto be very successful, working for companies like Nasa, so that also helps eliminate any stereotypes or opinions people may have on the team about a girls ability.
