I am a senior and I what I have seen is that the people who succeed (boys and girls alike) are those that jump into a project and just start participating. Im sure 280 welcomes you - so just dont be shy in group discussions and if theres a problem that needs to be fixed, fix it (with permission of course). In the end, both you and your fantastic work will be recognized. BTW - Welcome to FIRST - It gets in your blood!
