IndyRAGE

IndyRAGE is a unique event as it ties the FIRST competition together with an event focused on girls. Female motivational speakers and an open discussion led by women in STEM fields will give girls the opportunity to ask questions and get motivated about engineering and other STEM fields. Girls are also encouraged to try new roles at this event.

Pit crews are encouraged to be all-female. We recognize this as a significant challenge to teams, so this is not a requirement. Teams are encouraged to recruit new mentors for this event!

Volunteers

Our goal is 100% female volunteers in every role. Last year we achieved 91%! In some cases, due to the experience required, this may not be possible. In those specific cases, we will have an experienced volunteer provide coaching and training for a female interested in learning those roles.

The rules are simple:

You must have an all-girl drive team (including the coach).

The boys can come but will be cheering you on from the stands.

There will be judged awards.

Our mission is to empower girls to try something new during this event.
