We have roughly 4 girls on our team (of roughly 25 ish kids) and we're aiming to fix this i promise (we have a significant number of freshman hopefully joining our team)
In the past we haven't been that great regarding female team members, most of us were kind of pushed toward pr and spirit and marketing even if we wanted to work on the programming or robot itself. It didn't help that for our first two years a group of 3 people did most of the work on the robot and didn't like or want other people trying to work on it.
We had some issues.
This year however, the member(s) encouraging this kind of behavior have graduated. Our team captain this year is going to be a girl who has been with us since the start and she's ensuring that everyone, especially the members who have been pushed toward the background, get to do what they've wanted to do all along.
