We are an all female team, where students are from all girls high school, and all the mentors are female too.

I know there are other FIRST teams that are all female, specifically all female students. Are there other teams out there that are all female students and all female mentors??

Welcome to FIRST. I think you may have stumbled on a first in the program.

I don't know of any other all girls team who has all female mentors as well.

The one I knoW about a little in depth is the one Reese mentioned earlier.

Team 1547 is also from an all girls school, yet they have male and female mentors consisting of parents, teachers, and a few technical engineers outside of the school itself from GM I believe.


As far as your status to having only female mentors, I would like to know if that is your choice, or just how it happened?
