2024 Washington Girls Generation

October 12 - 13

General Information:

Bear Metal is excited to bring back our annual competition, Washington Girl’s Generation! This competition, started in 2012, aims to empower gender minorities in STEAM, by encouraging FRC teams to have drive teams, pit crews, and leadership roles all managed by females. This competition is free for spectators, held in the Tahoma Senior High School gym. The event is Saturday 10/12 9a - 5p, and Sunday 10/13 8a - 4p., and all spectators are more than welcome to view matches, support local females taking on a new role, and ask Bear Metal students (dressed in yellow and black) for more information about our shop, competition, robot, or team! If you would like to learn more about FIRST robotics, STEAM in our community, or future female leaders, this is the perfect opportunity!

2024 Girls Generation will be using all current Crescendo (The 2024 FIRST Robotics game) rules and regulations. New to FIRST? See more information about this year’s game under “About Us”. View the information below about purchasing a lunch or shirt, and a general overview of the schedule.
