I think it was pretty much three reasons I joined:
1. My schools an all girls school so it's pretty obvious why there are girls on the team lol
In chapel when they first made the announcement it looked like so much fun! (and it turned out to be even more fun than i thought it would be!!!)
3. My Dad's an engineer so I think he had a big influence on me. When I went to Take Your Kids To Work Day (I don't know if people in the states have it or not) I went to his work at Ontario Power Generation. I got a tour of the plant and it seemed pretty cool (especially the pink doors...yay for pink!). He explained stuff for me and I learned so much. I spent part of the afternoon with one of the few women in my dad's section and she said that there weren't very many other women in her classes when she was at university.
4. I want to show the world that women can build robots too!!!
