Boys and girls think and act differently, but that’s ok. By learning from each other, we can do more together than we could on our own.
Hi, my name is Jaye and I’ve been around FIRST since my sister started in FLL when I was 1 year old. Since then I’ve started doing FIRST on my own and this year was on an FLL team called The Flying Pigs based in Sydney Australia. The team consists of 6 people - Henry, Eleni, Jaye, Grace, Andres, and Cameron. This past weekend we won the Research Award at the FLL Australian National and came in third overall.
While I learned a lot about robots and how people learn this year, I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is that boys can be my friends too. Before FLL, I thought boys were disgusting and gross, but now I think they help me. They have taught me how they do things.
My first year in FLL I was on an all-girls team and I think by being on a co-ed team I’ve seen we can do more because the boys and girls think differently. Our diversity allows us to approach the same problem in different ways. This means we can come up with better solutions because we have more ideas to try and test!
