Re: What happened to the "Patriarchy, misogyny, and sexism in robotics." thread?

My team is in the same boat, except we have 4 student leads, 3 of which are female. Up until this year, our male:female ration was around 3:1. This year, we are now 1:1. There's really no divide in technical to non-technical which is awesome. At my high school, we're also in PLTW and everyone's required to take at least 1 year in engineering, but 2 is recommended. Robotics is the varsity and junior varsity sport at my high school. Both FTC and FRC have a course at the school, which allows FIRST alone to reach 40ish kids, equally split between males and females. Keep in mind we're a high school composed of about 380 students.

I haven't personally dealt with sexism at any regionals, but I know in previous years my team has. Our mentors just tell that we know what we're doing and that if people have a problem that girls or boys are doing certain things on the team it's their loss to not see a group dynamic work so well.
