YAY Amanda.

We have a couple big projects we are currently working on. I'm going to start putting together a list of tasks that need to be worked on. I'll post them here ASAP. But a overview of them: FIRSTClass - a pen-pal program between FIRST and FLL girls. (untitled quilt project) - I need to get the detaily-details of this program, but I do know that it is a quilt(s) that is going to be made by FLL girls about engineering. But I'll get more info up in the next couple of days. You're also more than welcome to submit your own project ideas. We're also looking for pics for the site, inspirational quotes, and we're always looking for good, reliable writers. Anyway, congrats and thank you for joining. If you nee anything, feel free to contact either myself or any of the other RCU moderators.

Robot Chicks Union

I have been involved with NASA and FIRST since the end of the 1999 season. I am particularly interested in recruiting more women to engineering and science, and, in particular, to both FIRST and BotBall competitions, since NASA is a major sponsor of both.

I am really interested in recruiting more girls' schools (both middle and high schools). I am the product of a girls' high school (The Bishop's School) and a women's college (Mills) and would like to see if we could come up with a video that we could put on the web, send out in the mail, etc. to girls' schools.

I know that St. Francis in Sacramento (winners of the 2003 Sacramento Regional) and Archer School in Los Angeles would be very willing to help. But I need some more leads in the rest of the country. If you would be willing to appear in a taped video, video conference, or web cast, with your robot, your trophies, some parents, teachers, mentors and maybe even a sponsor or two, that would really help me to get this going.

So please respond, ladies (and gentlemen as well)..PS. I can't promise, but if I can get enough support, that would certainly help...

Flora,
I will pass this on to my team to see if they want to help, but, speaking for myself, I would love to help.

Miss Abi's post

Did you know that Miss Abbe was the name of my Art Appreciation teacher at my girls' school? She later went on to marry the science fiction writer Gregory Benford. In fact, one of his writing partners, Greg Bear, came to the Seattle FIRST Regional in 2002...

Anyway, I would be delighted with your help. Thank you and more later.

Flora

We will. We have a female TIG welder, and another girl training on TIG this summer. We've had female captains past 3 years, and another female team captain has been voted in for this next year.

Women on teams...

Thank you...and you are close, to boot.

I'm helping Wendy Wooten and the rest of the LA 2004 Fundraising Committee for next year, since NASA has done its' 3 years in LA. In fact, I'm meeting her next weekend in LA. Since I come down there about every 4 weeks, perhaps we can set something up where I can come and videotape you and the team. I will talk to her next week when I see her. It might work for me to come to one of the SCRR group meetings, as well.

I've been a redhead a couple of times in my life...it's fun!

Flora

Greg..

Unless its behind the scenes (Webmaster, event coodinating, contact waypoint) there's probably not much you can do with the RCU. But hey, there's always stuff that needs done, and it doesn't have to be by a girl.

I think the best thing you can do, is get the girls on your team involved with it. Expanding the female population of RCU will help it immensly. For every 5 people who joins just to join, there will be 1 who joins and makes something of it.

Get the word out.. there are many ways. I wore my RCU headband at regionals and Nationals

and Abi.. you know you can't count on me for anything

Greg,
Like Brandon said, getting girls on your team to join is one way to help. You can also help by encouraging girls on your team to try their hand at different aspects of the team, not just PR, but also build. We do have several male supporters and hope to define specific tasks and roles they can fill in the near future. Except for Brandon, because I can't count on him for anything
