Agreed XD
I think that one of the biggest problems with getting girls to join/stay on teams is the gender barrier. Before high school, girls and guys don't interact much, and if they do, it's typically more on a "OMGBOYFRIEND!!!!!!!!"-type basis. So for girls, gaining acceptance on a team that's mostly guys can be...hard. Lack of acceptance is what has scared a few of my girl friends away from the team, along with a general disinterest in robots.
So basically... (Retention of female participation)=acceptance+interest+/-(already existing friends on the team)
