Re: HELP: GIRLS AND ROBOTICS

One of the issues my team has dealt with is being seen as "genius geeks," which scares a lot of people away. Let people know that you don't need to know how to weld, or pi to the thirtieth decimal, or five programming languages. And talk to people! If people don't know about where and when the team meets, they won't join - socializing is a huge part of recruitment. Last year, we had three girls; this year, we have seven (on a team of twenty or so).
