Re: Why is it that not many girls are into robotics?

On my team, I'm the only female college mentor out of at least 15-20 college mentors, but I actually didn't even notice that until we were making travel arrangements and I was thinking about who would share a hotel room with me. I guess that means that I don't feel singled out for being a girl! Either that, or nearly four years in the Electrical Engineering program at Northeastern has desensitized me. I have had quite a few classes in which I was the only girl out of 30ish students. It doesn't really bother me, because I don't think I'm treated any differently, but I'm optimistic about the future of women in technology.
