Re: Girls on Teams

Out of a realitively small team (15 students) 1/3 of the students are female, 1 of our teacher/mentors is a female, and our PR plannign person is a female. If it wasnt for the contibutions of these "girls" then our team would not be what it is today. I'm glad that some people are actively working to get more females into mathmatics,science, and engeineering by getting them involved with the FIRST program. If not for all the contributions of all the females in science our world would not be what it is today. And hey, guys, if you dont want females involved with "guy work" then your probably in the wrong program becuase we all know that FIRST is for people of all races,sexs,heights,weights,etc. thats why we love it!
(Oh yeah and by the way, I'm all for getting females intrested in technology becuase face it, we all want to meet smart women who are interested in the things we are.)
