 Honestly, no one at a FIRST competition is gonna judge you. Chances are, there are least 20 people dorkier than you. - JohnnyB [more] |

Our team had a problem with initative.... then we fixed it.
We started out the year with 43 people and now have 18. But, strangely, the people who quit were mostly boys. Of course, there were more boys that joined in the first place, but most of the girls stuck with it. We girls do a lot, we didn't only stick with it, but we also worked our bums off.

The teacher also made the excellent suggestion of making a robotics booth at both (or at least one) of the major high schools in town at next year's club sign-up day. It could work!

Out of 25 members of our team (716) 13 are girls (2 juniors, the rest either freshman or sophomores). They make up most of our travel team. Someone said before that many of us girls don't have the initiative to do big things... but that's anything but true on our team. Last year i was head scout and also wrote the chairman's award by myself. Another team member, also a girl, and i co-wrote a woody flowers award paper for our engineer. This year i am one of the 2 drivers for our team and my drive team is all girls. My operator has been on the team since we started and she has overcome more than almost anyone on the team, due to the fact that when she began she was the only girl. At our last two off season competitions, our entire pit crew was made up of girls, and when we meet after school, most of the shop is made up of girls... doing most of the building.
 So at your next competition, look for us... we're not as rare as you think!

Re: Girls on Teams
Quote:
Right now we have about 7 girls on a team of 45. The newer ones are largely there due to the efforts of our past female members. We simply don't attract lots of girls. Nor do we go out of our way to attract more or give special treatment to those that do join. I've found that the ladies tend to sign up for more of the PR and administrative kinds of things. We have a bunch of our theatre students who essentially develop and run our Volcano Crew (cheer section). Its fun. It also has a lot of boys on it. This season we have boy girl teams running the pit area. One girl who will be fabricating with the guys and a bunch of new ones that will be first year scouts. So girls- don't settle for what the guys "let you have". If they get in your way, kick some 'bot and stand up for yourselves!! WC  PS- sign up for Final Bin Bash 10/25 closes 10/12. Haven't seen those Midwest teams yet. Hmmmmmmm....
