I don’t know about other girls involved in FIRST but when I first entered the club(this is my fourth year) I faced a lot of discrimination, no one would listen to my ideas until I told the one guy on my team that would listen to me and then when he presented it everyone thought it was great. But after a while of being loud and noticeable others started taking me seriously. Some of the problem was that the other girls only did PR. But now I am the field captain, head strategist, one of the head drive train people and do more that anyone else on the wiring. It took awhile but they came around.
