Mr. Cameron is one of the teachers who mentors Falcon Robotics out of Arizona, FRC 842. He is a guiding light for those of us who are interested in or contend with issues that face minorities and young women. As you become more familiar with ChiefDelphi, you will find many discussions regarding how we can interest girls in the fields of science and technology and keep them interested through high school and into college.

This thread was created by Mr. Cameron, bringing our attention to a program on PBS that addresses these issues. It doesn't take away from the involvement of men and 'guys' in the fields of science, technology, and engineering. It contributes to what we are doing and can do to continue to open these fields to young girls and their futures. It's a win/win for everyone.
