HELP: GIRLS AND ROBOTICS

[StephLee]

Our team had two girls this year; another was supposed to be on the team but came to a build session and got scared away. I was contacted because one of the mentors asked around at school to see if any girls were interested, and my name came up. I dragged a friend along so I wouldn't be the only girl on the team, and she loved it and stayed. I've talked about it so much to my friends, I think a few of them may join next year. And I think the girl who was scared away during build season has agreed to come and help with the website next year. Sarah and I are recruiting some of our friends who are coming up to the high school from 8th grade next year, so I think we'll have a few more girls. Talking to them seems like the best way to get more girls, but be careful not to scare them!!
