Discussion on All-Girl events

[Hitchhiker 42]

I wanted to add one last insight - maybe something that could help.

I myself am part of an all-boys team (we're from an all-boys school), and that forces our students to develop interests in all parts of the team. We have both a large build/programming department, as well as large, well-developed business/outreach departments. Though I have little experience with all-girls teams, I would assume the same would hold true. I think IndyRAGE is basically just a taste of what all-girls teams do all the time - have girls involved in all parts of the team. In this sense, I think it is a very positive experience to have, if only for 1 event, to empower girls to take charge in parts of the team where they are historically less involved (largely due to social pressures).
