I'm quite proud to say that I mentor an all-girl FTC team (okay granted, it's a three student team at the moment, but still)

To CLandrum:

Grab those genius girls and drag them to a robotics meeting!

Seriously though, that first step is the hardest part. It took some convincing from my friends to get me to come to my first robotics meeting, but once I was there, I was hooked!

They've been told that they aren't smart enough for robotics, you need to teach them how untrue that is.
