Re: Q&A Discuss: Girls on Teams
I know that we have had many girls on the team over the years and our team has never had restrictions to what any person is allowed to do. This year, however, we did not have any girls on our team up until a couple of weeks ago when we gained a mentor who graduated in art and design.
When we attended the Milwaukee Regional, I saw many girls coming from so many of the teams. From what I could tell, the girls on those teams participated in almost all of the facets of the team including driving, wiring, mechanical, design, publicity, scouting, etc. This is the same as the guys that are on my team. Their skills range widely and they will find a place on our team wherever they best fit.
I sincerely hope that mentors on all teams are allowing girls to be involved in the same way the guys on the team are allowed to participate and that they aren't pushed toward a part of the competition they aren't necessarily interested in.
