Continuing that, just please give the number of girls on your team, along w/ the number of students on your team, and what the girls usually do. Thanks a lot!

Team 1306 has 9 girls on a team of 28. The girls on our team have all kinds of leadership positions. I'm a girl who has been on my team for 3 years and I have personally seen our environment shift a lot when it comes to girls and their roles participating in robotics. I am the Senior Co-President on the team this year. Our head of business, outreach, video and marketing are also girls. However, we also have a lot of girls that are very involved with building the robot. Our safety captain is a girl and a new member on our drive team is a girl. The girls do tend to do more of marketing and imagery but I think that's just some girls preference. My team its really flexible, when it comes to students doing what they would like to do, but when we need someone to fill those roles girls usually volunteer or are placed in those positions.
