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

While I'll agree that girls are in the minority in this sort of field, I find it encouraging that there ARE more girls interested in engineering and other such subjects than there were say, a decade ago perhaps. Maths/Science subjects are stereotypically male-dominated. I pride myself on being an exception to the girly-girl rule-- stubbornly refused to wear dresses as a young child, was more interested in cars than dolls, and have been keen to get into the science sector for my career. Well, hopefully anyway. Plus, our team has it's female members. In fact, our current captain happens to be female. And she makes a great team captain, too.
