Re: Making STEM a better place for women

Honestly as a team member for Team 2403 Plasma Robotics, our basis of female students have grown along with our male counterparts through all of the outreach and team bonding sessions. With all of this it has allowed us to figure ourselves out better before we make any rash decisions during the rest of the season. Seeing this in action, I see that sometimes we all get awkward or creeped out about someone or something, but that should not deter anyone away from STEM in any way.

I know that much of the women in STEM is weak, but I believe it is growing and it will continue for equality over time. Gender inequality is a shaky topic with some people but we just need to be positive and supportive towards all members, and not bias towards one side or the other. If someone wants to become an engineer, male or female, we need to allow that because in the end that is what they strive for in life!

I keep positive about all of the gender equality progressing and it will continue to get better and better!
