Getting Colleges Involved in FIRST
I know that after the J&J Rutgers Regional last year, Randy Schaffer wanted to find a way to convince some of the Rutgers Engineering students to get involved in FIRST.
He looked at SWE (Society of Women Engineers) as a possibility to encourage more girls to join FIRST teams. I personally think this is a good idea, but my concern is, how many of these girls have been involved in FIRST?
Yes, it's a great idea to convinve other girls how great ENGINEERING is because they have experience in that field, but will they be able to convince girls to join FIRST?
I am a member of SWE, and I know I have interested some of the SWE girls, but most of the Rutgers members were NOT involved in FIRST.
Does any one have any ideas how I can teach the SWE girls about FIRST to put Randy Schaffer's plan into action, especially with only ONE off-season competition left?
