Re: Advice for freshman girls
As the mentor for the programmers on Team 342, a long time FIRSTer (I have pictures when I was 11 standing next to a robot in 95'), its not about whether you are new or not, girl or guy, as long as you want to be there and are energetic about it! I would take A freshman girl who wanted to be there and wrote terrible code over someone who could write great code but didn't have the passion, gracious professionalism, or team spirit. You have to remember in the end the success in FIRST is not about winning or losing a round, it is about the friendship, skills, networks, and lifelong relationship you build with FIRST, and Science and Technology. Everything else really is a bonus.
