It is so amazing to me that just a year before Girl Powered was introduced by the REC Foundation, us girls decided to take a stand for our femininity and create our own team. In my opinion, we defied everything we had been told when being spoken down to and overcame the odds of being unsuccessful.
With all this being said, one thing most girls tend to forget about involving themselves in Girl Powered events is that this online challenge might be a "competition", so to speak, but it is not a competition to show off our "rising up" stories and compete with each other. Rather, it is a way to share our stories to inspire one another to initiate what Girl Powered stands for in their robotics' communities.
The definition of girl power is the idea that women should be confident, make decisions, and achieve things independently of men. In this circumstance, one girl team is not better than the other. We are all one team, united together across the globe fighting for the riddance of misogyny in the world of robotics that we all hold dearly to our hearts.
And that, my dear readers, is what Girl Powered means to team 9225C. From our founding in December of 2015 to the future years that have yet happened, 9225C stands upon the beliefs of rebelling against the simple syllable of "no".
