Re: Making STEM a better place for women
I have female students on teams that I have worked with that had some just plain creepy or akward situations happen to them. I've dealt with it by letting the mentors of the student know what went on and they dealt with it internally. Most of the girls who were on the receiving end through conversation told me this sort of thing isn't rare.
Another thing I'm beginning to learn is that sexism is a problem among male students in FRC.
I agree that this can be a problem. How to deal with it if it happens with a student on your team is something I don't have the best answer for.
