Representation starts with recruitment—and intentional strategies make all the difference. In this mentor-led session from FTC #18442 Gear Rotation, learn how one team actively recruited girls and nonbinary students, built a supportive team culture, and worked to close the gender gap in STEM.

You’ll leave with replicable ideas, fresh talking points, and insight into how mentorship can shape identity and opportunity.
