Girls Gen is an opportunity for girls and LGBTQ+ members of the robotics club to take over all aspects of a robotics competition, from driving the robot to pit crew. Girls Gen is one of several off season events that Bear Metal participates in, using the same robot that was used in the spring 2022 competition season. This year 10 girls from the Tahoma Robotics club competed, with everyone getting the opportunity to drive. The club also hosted the competition at THS, with huge amounts of volunteer support.
