Re: Make: To Build a Better Team, Build a Better Robot - Kate Azar on Women in STEM
I loved reading this. Kate is a great person, my team knows this first hand.
At our first ever competition (North Star 2013) we were fortunate enough to have our pit next to 2177 and Kate was a staple in their pit. Our Safety Captain and her quickly started up a dialogue that lasted throughout the event. Not only did she and her team offer great advice for us, they were instrumental in getting us ready for the regional.
Last year at the GoFIRST Splash training, one of my students lost his ticket for lunch. He was nearly in tears when it came time to hand over the ticket. She saw the frustration in his eyes and quickly stated (and logically presumed) "well, you are here, so obviously you paid". No questions, not necessarily a case of GP, just compassion.
Great article.
