Still we need more girls. our PR people arent doing the greatest job of advertising robotics. (wait... do we even have a PR team?!?)

PR team? our entire robotics team is part of our PR team. When you go to a very very small school (read: less than 400 kids total in the h.s.) everyone learns to multitask very quickly

I'm trying to get there!
Our team is made up of 2 rival schools. As RUHS parent of RUHS robotics' president I'm in the know, can quickly take advantage of publicity opportunities, respond to reporter's requests.
However just the moment before reading your post I was emailed by the other school that yearbook had been begging several times for yearbook photos, and now he was asking my help to get them off his back. Wha?!@?

if they do rise again and arent making money off of weird fundraisers (ie. selling Hugs and Kisses[the real thing not hersheys chocolate] where they made 80 some dollars), i'll try and get them to cheer. multiteam cheering sections are cooler if you are partnered up with that other team in a match.

Re: Why girls ARE joining our team...

My team has about 15 girls give or take alil more this year! We started off last year w/ about 9 an this year we have so many more. I know from my school most girls dont care about robotics an think its "a guy thing" but if you look at it in the perspective as jobs when you get older, there are a number of females who do PR work, who finance, who design websites, who program, an those who are engineers! I think some girls are to chicken to get dirty and dont wanna do the building they think robotics is all about. Or maybe they have the perspective its to nerdy. Me, i could care less if i'm called a nerd, but if u look at a number of the teams an people you meet at competitions they are not nerds, or geeks, an have great personalities! They are normal people who enjoy doing things that will get them far in life. If someone doesnt want to take the time see what robotics is all about then they should not talk bad about FIRST and the people in it! We are normal high school students working together, an if you ask me i've never had an issue w/ any team or FIRSTer in my career of being involved with the FIRST program no matter where i went. I am proud of all the girls involved in FIRST and it shows we can do anything if we put our mind to it! To all the girls involved with FIRST way to go an keep up the good work!!!

By the way sorry to bring back an old thread, I wanted to let my opinon on this out there. Take it however you please.

Re: Why girls ARE joining our team...

So far this year MOE has a fair number of new perspective students that are female and 100% of the girls from last year have returned. Every year we go to the all girl schools and do our demos and try to show the girls that they can do the same job just as well and even better then most of the guys. I know that there have been many a time that I have been bested by a girl on my team.

Re: Why girls ARE joining our team...

We have 5 current girls and they are all very important to our team. We are hoping to pick up a few more when we get ready to get new members.

Re: Why girls ARE joining our team...

We just got a huge influx in our female population, which is great for once. I don't know how many will stick with it, but I don't know how many boys will keep at it either.
