Girls on Teams going to Engineering

[thatphotochick]

1) What made you get involved in FIRST
My photography teacher is an advicer on the robotics team and he was trying to get girls in our class to join (funny when i think back on it), and i just up and decided to come to the meeting that night
2) How long have you been involved in FIRST
This is my second, and last as a student..i think i'll come back as a mentor
3) What college(s) did you apply to/get accepted to
crazy, but i'm not going to college, i'm taking a year off and i might go next year, i'm not sure
4) Are you planning on going into the engineering field why or why not?
i'm not cause it's not what i personally want to do, otherwise FIRST would have encouraged me to go into engineering
5) Also why do you think it's important for women to go into engineering, and maybe share some personal experience working alongside engineers
it's important cause there are girls who can do the same exact thing as a boy can, i.e. make a robot, and alot of those girls never get that chance to prove themselves
