There's nothing wrong at all with this event. There is still a huge social stigma in this country when it comes to involving women in STEM related activities. Many of you, especially mentors, need only to look around your office and see mostly men working there. Actively targeting women to give them an additional opportunity to be inspired to pursue a STEM career is a fantastic idea.

Boys already have plenty of opportunities for inspiration the other 364 days of the year and there are other off-season competitions in Indiana that they can attend.

Giving girls one day to have an event to call their own is something we should be applauding, not trying to tear down. Well done 234!
