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

As was said before - we have a few girls on our team, and they're treated the same as all the other members. No one cares that they're girls. I think an important point is that when they do seem interested in being in robotics, they must be treated the same as all other new members - teach them things they need to be taught, show them around the machine shop, etc. But don't treat them differently, either way that is - don't treat them poorly, or better, or as if they can only do certain things.

I'm not sure if it the girls that we have on our team or if its something else, but most of the girls don't have a problem speaking up about ideas, asking for help if they need it or just asking for one of the more experienced members on the team to explain it.
