Team 237 is lucky; of around our 30 members, a little less than half are women. One major part was the "little sister" factor, but these girls who have been raised on FIRST have proved as if not more capable than their male counterparts. Though the majoirty of girls are sophomores and juniors, they are found on every aspect of the team. Our pneumatics team is almost exsclusively female, and most of our electrical team as well. In fact, only two members, both female, were fundraising and PR. Autodesk was completely female, as is Scouting, and the single member of Strategy.

I don't see women and men anymore, just the aweseme people who helped make our 10 foot tall baby. Sure, it can be intimidating, but that is why the older girls make an effort to help the younger ones feel more comfrotable. The grunt and burp masculine air of the team has only made us more tolerant and able to expell gas with the best of them.
