Girls on Teams

[Adare180]

At Nationals, a few of the girls on my team (Mary, Tiff, and I) went to the Robotic Chicks Union meeting, and next year, we are going to try to start some type of "Robotic Chickettes" in the elementary/middle school age students to recuit girls to join are team and possess an interest in science and engineering. On team S.P.A.M. now, there are over thirty students involved, only 12 of which being girls. Out of all the team membors that went to Atlanta for the championship, only 8 were girls, less than 1/3 of the students who came with on the trip. I am the only active female team member from my school this year, and during the "rookie meetings" in the fall, there were only two girls in the entire class out of about 20. Go robotics girls! Go Robotic Chicks Union!
