Re: Q&A Discuss: Girls on Teams

This topic is something that I get asked a lot by people that don't really understand FIRST. My team is about 30 kids and we have 8 girls. About 5 of those girls are the PR people/cheerleaders, but they're still important. The girls on our team can do anything they want as long as they put the initiative in and try. This year I'm the human player and also the team welder. I'm also learning to wire so that next year when a lot of our boys graduate, I can take over.

While I do try to learn all the building and the mechanical stuff like the boys, I try to put my "girly" spin on things too. I actually rhinestoned my human player remote and the competition team's safety glasses, which we have gotten many compliments on
