Re: Two teams, one school - Good idea?
Team 1155 did the split last year to form the all girls team 2265 at Bronx Science and felt that it was a great decision. I am guessing that Ana Martinez is offering you guys the same deal we got last year (NYC regional paid for?) and if that is the case we can answer a lot of your questions, just PM me and I will try to answer in a timely fashion.

As far as female interest in robotics is concerned we saw a peak. Monetarily both teams have benefited due to the vast amount of money out there for women in engineering and though we had some issues with mentorship, we just got picked up by a group of female engineers from Credit Suisse thanks to Ana and the others in charge of NYC FIRST. All in all we felt that it was a great idea to start 2265 but one must also consider that BX Science is a very different atmosphere than Ghouse and that may play a role.


Hope this helps
