Mission

This event is dedicated to providing an opportunity for students to show their strengths in a predominantly male-dominated field. Through this event, we hope to contribute to closing the gender gap in STEM and promoting inclusive team cultures. We are excited to bring a twist to traditional off-season events to inspire women in STEM!

Drive Teams

Drive teams must consist of female/non-binary students, and said students are encouraged to participate in leading roles in all aspects of the competition. There are no restrictions on pit crew or the support in the stands; bring the whole team for an exciting day of robot action!

Not enough girls for a drive team? Still want to participate? We will be helping to facilitate partner teams as well to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to compete! However, we encourage you to use this as an opportunity to recruit and help keep girls engaged in robotics.

Number of Teams

We are aiming to have 24 teams attend at this time. If there is demand for more spots, we will assess that at a later time.

More information to follow as the event gets closer.
