Hello guys! We're a small team from Tokyo, Japan. Out of 14 members in the Robotics club, there are only 4 girls. But that doesn't keep us from being equally vital members of the team. Our goal is to "Reinevent the Status Quo" for the girls in upcoming grades, so that boys and girls alike can freely persue their passion for Robotics. The evident gap in the girl to guy ratio, not just in robotics but in any STEM field, has set forth a movement to empower girls in the community, which is great. But I don’t want that to take away from the fact that the emphasis is on empowering individuals to do what they love, not on whether they’re a girl or boy. Because at the end of the day — girls and boys — we’re all working together to accomplish something: To do what we love.”
