Re: New all-female FIRST Team @ Westinghouse
It would be great to promote the team as a team, not necessarily as a girls' team. I know we still have work to do in this field/area but I would definitely steer very clear of any names that draw attention to a girls' team in any way denoting negativity or weakness or promoting a stereotype regarding women.

If you want to connect with the Pirate theme, think of some different things connected to pirates - such as:
the sea
the navigational instruments
parts of the ship
the stars they used for direction
nautical measurements

things like that.
