Re: Gender Equality: A Work in Progress
On Team 2950 we hold a near 50/50 ratio (I want to say that it is 57% girls), we have found one effective way is to actually start the two genders seperate and then slowly merge them.

We did this by starting an all girls engineering club and 2 all girls FTC teams. This allowed the girls to build basic skills without the powerhouse students and then they have to confidence to join in with the boy on our team for winter projects in preparation for FRC.
