7 of our 20 team members are girls and 1 of our 5 mentors is female.

Out of four student leadership roles (CAD, construction, controls, and communications), two are held by females (including myself). Our team makes a point to make sure that each team member gets to spend some time with each sub-team, regardless of gender. You might be wiring the robot one hour and helping with CAD the next or walking into the shop to take photos only to find yourself drilling a hole in a component.

Comments geared towards the girls on our team are generally positive, one of my favorites coming from our head mentor on our open house/robot reveal day: "You ladies look wonderful all fancied up; it shows that you can be techy and still stunning."
