My Engineering Tech teacher is the lead mentor for our FIRST team, so he encouraged the 3 girls in my class to get involved. He said that the team was lacking in girls (they had only 3 at the time) and that it would be fun because there was all sorts of stuff to be done and (lots of guys!). After seeing a promo tape I decided to join the team because I wanted to go on the trips. For 2005, the girls on the team were still seriously out numbered (6-35), but next year we plan on getting more girls involved.
