Re: [FRC Blog] Something New - SWE Grant
I'm sure for the teams that qualify, this will be a nice source of funding, but I'm not sure many will, and I also don't entirely understand the rationale behind some of the requirements-- if a team is 50/50, isn't it a decent assumption that they're already pretty solid in terms of recruitment diversity and awareness of the issue? It seems to me like two grants were mashed together to make this one-- one for teams pursuing gender equality in their team and another for those who achieved it.
I do however applaud SWE and FIRST for putting this together-- it's always nice to see new partner organizations and funding sources appear.
