On the same subject, FIRST Robotics Canada created this video to encourage girls to join robotics:

I think it's really effective and have been spreading it to as many contacts as I can...
Quite frankly, we have a lot of poisonous elements in our culture/society that seem to actively discourage girls from participating in a lot of activities, like robotics.
By helping spread this video around, we can do our little part to change people's perspectives about girls in robotics!
