[EWCP] EWCPcast 9/16/12 - Gender Diversity

[Jon Stratis]

Well, obviously I'm simply prescient, and attempting to give you an easy intro into the third podcast.

The problem with prescience though, is always getting the order of events mixed up... I should have given a lead in for the second podcast, not the third!

I was mostly referring the females that I've seen all over CD here, and whose opinions and responses are accepted as quickly as anyone's (in fact, some of them have posted in this thread already!). These strong, knowledgable women don't get their fair share of the spotlight. But I'll leave it up to the third podcast to get into naming our female rockstars

Renee, I assume you'll be talking about events like the GirlPOWER Invitational in the second podcast? Thats something I know my team has talked about wanting to attend in the past, but the distance during the school year makes it pretty much impossible to do for us. It would be amazing if we could get a somewhat comprehensive list of events like this from around the nation!

Both intros were pretty good!

We have girlPOWER on our radar and Girls Generation. We're talking with FRC 433 to see if they're free but we still have to make contact with Girls Generation:

You know, 2177 could host their own all-girls off-season event in Minnesota? Instead of traveling to the event bring an event to you!

Don't think that hasn't crosse my mind... It is a lot of work, though, and I don't think the team is quite ready to sign up for it yet - especially since our current build space is off campus with no room for a real event. Hopefully once we get our new build space at the school it's something we can put on our radar!
