Re: Making STEM a better place for women

Ok, so I'll interject a question into this discussion to see how other teams handle this. Do you allow dating and relationships between team members? Are there any expectations or standards you set regarding this?

As for my team, we have several relationships between members. Some of these relationships occurred because of their interactions at Robotics, some of these relationships started LONG before they joined Robotics. We have not had any issues with this, but we have had team members leave the team to preserve their relationships with other team members.
So far, no mentor has ever spoken to the students about relationships with other team members, but thankfully we haven't needed anyone to as of yet.

The conversation of the thread has turned more to eliminating sexual harassment before it rears its ugly head in FIRST, but I believe this is a relevant topic. Any other approaches to inter-team relationships?
