I agree. From my perspective in a field of science (geology and 
geophysics) that remains thin in women despite recent improvement, it 
was terrific to see a large number of female judges, refs and scorers 
at the Sterling tournament, nearly every one with an enthusiastic 
attitude.

And a good number of girls on teams, too. We missed the flash and 
presence of the JEECS Squad (last year in Ashburn they made a splash 
with their bright pink shirt-dresses and near-perfect robot 
performance), but there was a good amount of girl-power at the 
tournament. More evidence of the broad appeal and empowerment of 
FIRST!
