Love it!

Be sure to document everything. Not only will it be a fun and rewarding event for everyone, but a significant social experiment worthy of a report.

I wish my team could go to this competition because we are an all-girls team but its so far

Actually, team 1540 (flaming chickens) has been doing an event exactly like this in Portland, OR since 2010 - Girls Generation. Last year, team 2046 (bear metal) hosted a Seattle spinoff as well.

It's been a very successful event since it started, with many teams returning year after year for the sole purpose of inspiring their rookie girls, many of whom would otherwise decide against robotics.

If you'd like any advice, feel free to ask us!

Well PA isn't that far from CT! You should could go to 433's girlPOWER offseason event, which my team went to every fall: http://www.firstfirebirds433.com/girlpower.html. I believe they have 18 teams signed up so far.
