A couple of thoughts -
a. who, in FIRST, is a well-known scientist or engineer and a woman, that comes to our minds immediately?
b. who are our 'super stars' in FIRST that are women who are achieving the mission and goals of FIRST, that come to our minds immediately?

As FIRST continues to mature as an organization with alumni established in successful careers of their choosing/training and educational background - more women will be recognized for their work, efforts, and contributions.

Whether we like it or not, right now there is a lack of women in the fields of math, science, engineering, technology. FIRST is in process of changing that - but we have a way to go. Teams can and do help create change. It is an honorable mission, an honorable goal. How teams go about creating change, opening doors to the world of science and technology, are as varied and exciting as the teams, themselves.

842 shares their experiences with us here in ChiefDelphi and in their team website. They have shared their robot development, their Chairman's submission, their year in the FIRST experience. They also share their mission and their participation in FIRST as a team making a difference, creating change. This presents opportunities for all of us to think about, explore, and celebrate.
