Our team was 25% - 35% girls, and they had absolutely crucial jobs. one girl was our HR rep, one girl built the drivetrain with three guys, two girls made our pins, designed our t-shirts, banners, stickers... they learned photoshop from scratch and now are more skilled than most average computer users. one of our girls managed our $30,000 budget. one girl was our shooter, and she was one of the best shooters in atlanta hands down.

i am the team president (a guy), but i fully support girls' roles and one of our goals next year is to make engineering and FIRST more appealing to girls at our beautiful University of Washington campus.

hope this helps.
