Our team currently has nine batteries, all of which are named after famous women in science. While there are definitely men who did great things (Edison, Newton, Ohm, Faraday, etc.), we realized that we were neglecting a huge population whose contributions have been largely overlooked.
Women have always been scientists, engineers, inventors, and mathematicians. But until recently, their achievements were less likely to be recognized, rewarded, and celebrated compared to those of their male peers. We’re trying to shine a light on this historical injustice by putting women front and center… on our robot.
