Re: Why is it that not many girls are into robotics?

The more women we see coaching, the more girls we'll see participating.
The more women we see as lead engineers, the more girls we'll see committing to the team.
The more women we have as 'rock stars' in FIRST, the more girls we'll see celebrating math and science and the doors they can open.
The more women who serve as strong role models, the more girls we'll see applying for and obtaining scholarships in these areas.

Lead by example.
Go the distance.
Recruit mentors, team mates, parents, sponsors, and supporters that get this or will.

It's a journey - for some, it is a lifetime adventure in the form of a goal.
