Re: HELP: GIRLS AND ROBOTICS

Keep in mind that as there are different learning styles, there are different communications styles as well. Although this is a generalization studies have shown that males respond to action, so a robot demo or video might capture their interest. Females tend to respond to verbal communication, so having a friendly, outgoing member of the team there to talk about the program might be the way to reach the female population.
