[EWCP] Women of FIRST - f(EM)ale Rockstars

[Andrew Schreiber]

What better way to spend your Sunday Night, November 11th, from 9-10 PM EST then listing in to the final episode of the Gender Diversity/Women of FIRST EWCP Podcast series!

Join hosts Renee Becker, FIRST Senior Mentor in Minnesota, and Katie Widen, Mentor for FRC Team 3928, for an EWCP podcast focusing on Female Engineering Mentors in FIRST.

This final podcast will have a number of strong female engineers on the call to discuss questions like:

• Do teams need to recruit more female engineering mentors to their teams?
• Do mentors inspire their own gender more than the other gender?
• As a FEM, are there any differences that you notice between you and MEMs?
• What have you seen in strong engineering mentors that makes them quality role models for students and encourages them to go into STEM?
• Are Female Engineering Mentors well known on a national level?
• Which comes first, the chicken (having more nationally known female rockstars in FIRST) or the egg (more female students in FIRST in general)?
• What are some ways that girls who want to be engineers can have access to FEMs they can remotely connect with and receive support from? Would FEMs be willing to connect with FESs?
• Would building a community of FIRST FEMs help strengthen the FIRST community and give FEMs a venue to talk and network?

Join us at the usual place (http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web...d=98466&cmd=tc) and time (9pm EST) on November 11th!
