I could not agree more with this! Girls in FRC tend to have to prove themselves repeatedly to gain any respect in the community, and many girls don't have the confidence to show time and time again that they are just as capable as their male counterparts. While I normally am not a fan of "girls only" events, I think that this is a great event to show girls who may be struggling on teams that they are completely capable of everything that their male counterparts are, and I hope that it gives the girls in attendance the confidence they need to keep pushing and stay involved in engineering.
