Re: Girls on Teams

Well we are a rookie team and we have four girls who participate actively everyday. At first we were kind of hesitant to get involved with the building because the guys would get snappy under stress but we have proven our worth. I was designated team captain for strategy and scouting. The other three captains are guys. We learn from our mentors and our fellow teammates every day and two of the girls are currently active in electrical and programming/building. Because there are more guys then girls we sometmes clash. It's fun though, in the end we realize we are an important part of the team and when any of us are missing they notice. Honestly, almost everyone on our team is basically learning from scratch, and only one guy on our team has experience with using tools. However when it comes to doing some tasks we girls have learned we have an easier time doing it then the guys.
