Re: Girls on Teams

Team RUSH is a great advocate of women in engineering. We have 32 members and approximately 1/3 are girls (not sure of the exact #). They have a variety of roles and do things just like the guys. Although there are some interested in business oriented skills, we have many females interested (and quite capable) of mechanical work.

As of now, engineering is a man's world (not to be sexist), but I know FIRST has had an impact and definitely inspired many women to become engineers, I just hope that all teams can gain the interest by girls that Team RUSH has been able to generate.
