Re: HELP: GIRLS AND ROBOTICS
Well Freddy, let me see if I can supply you with some info. The easiest way I think would get more females involved in robotics is to take the females you have this year and have then go around to underclassmen and have them spread the word of FIRST in a female's perspective. Have the girls target the girls and guys for....guys. Maybe have them go to your middle school and have them talk to the 8th graders. Now you can have guys along for the ride too for this is a good way for recruiting others. Another good way to get more participation is to hold workshops or demos. The biggest most important thing for you guys right now is to get the females to recruit. Anything you guys can think of to get more involvement will be a great start for the new year. Now I don't know how you team does it, but this is the same method that the Tigertrons use for recruiting. I hope I could give you some guidance on getting more females for your team. Good luck! and thanks for MCing the PARC. It was a great time!
