I believe that what we're doing at FIRST Robotics Canada is critical. That is helping girls to understand that they are confident, to build their confidence—they have so much to offer—and that, frankly, the gender biases they experience, whether in school or in the workforce, need to stop. If they have the skills and the resilience to meet those challenges head-on, they will certainly be able to contribute in a better and more fulsome way to what we can do in society in Canada.
