Re: Girls on FIRST teams

On team 1678, we have three girls, and one of them is set to be the head mechanical person for this coming season. I'd have to say, that I'm quite glad when I see a girl who can break out of the stereo-types and build a robot that works, as It shows that things are moving, and peoples views are changing, if slowly, and more importantly, that there are women entering into engineering.

Our other two women on the team are our elected secretaries, and they're doing a fine job helping us corroborate everything between club leaders and everyone else on the team.

I, myself do the website, and at present thats a one man(in this case) undertaking, so yeah. I'd like very much to see women in all parts of the process, because irrelevant of what gender, skin color, creed or otherwise you could be classified into, your a person, and your useful. The main task at hand is getting people to join the club, and finding out what they're useful with, and using that.

Just my dime on things...
