Re: Two teams, one school - Good idea?

As a girl, I think its really important to learn to work with the boys. The reality is most engineers are men, and if a girl wants to become an engineer, she has got to get used to working with guys. I'd suggest giving the boys a speech about letting the girls work and listening to them, and encouraging the girls. We've had a problem on our team with girls not getting involved because they don't know how to, not because they didn't want to.
Your team is small enough that you should stay as one team, and just have an extra goal of getting girls involved.
