Caio,

I like your post, and its true... at the end of the day its about working together as a team. I like that you're pulling anyone aside who's not busy and taking the time to teach them about what they have to do (its a sign of a good mentor). Yea, all FIRST team members are high schools students who may not understand entirely what they want/can/can't do, but at least they know FIRST is a good thing to be doing... no matter in what role, and it all ends up being some form of exposure.

So maybe thats all a team can do with their young women (a mentor responsiblity?). Make sure that the young women are getting some exposure to the techy stuff and get their chance to wrap their heads around any kind of design problem... even if its only an hour-long thing, sitting down and working on something together? Then, if they show more interest in technical aspects... encourage, help, and let them not fear mistakes?
