Re: Minimum age for FRC?
Lady Cans FRC #2881 was founded in 2009. At that time there were many middle school FRC teams. As a girl scout team, we've always had middle school girls on our team. STEM research shows that if girls are not involved in STEM activities between the 4th - 8th grade, then they won't be interested later in life. We have over 40 girls on our team. We have sustainability, depth of knowledge and continuous mentor-ship. Our alumni are also role models and mentors. Navigating STIMS is sometimes a challenge but paper always works and is legal.
