An all-girls robotics team from Whitby, Canada, has successfully qualified for the MATE ROV World Championship with their homemade underwater robot.
The competition features around 90 teams from 16 countries, with all-female teams remaining a minority. Replies mention that the coach noted how girls frequently ask "why" and "who does this serve" during the design process, a level of problem awareness that directly shapes the engineering itself.
