OUR MISSION + MASTER PLAN
OUR MISSION
We’re here to carve out a new culture around girls+ and robotics where none has ever existed before, and to build an underground network of girls+ who go fast and hard to become as technically skilled as humanly possible in order to build the new world and steer the course of humanity.
WHO WE ARE
Our names are Parker and Greta Mayer, and we’re sisters who hail from the farmlands of rural Washington state. We’ll be the first to tell you that we’ve got a long way to go and a ton to learn, but as we look back over the last six years, we’re also pretty proud of the work we’ve done, the things we’ve built, and all of the gut punches we’ve survived. We’ve spent the last six years immersed in the world of competitive robotics, with technical experience across three leagues and a combined 14 seasons between us. Since 2017, we’ve developed a library of robotics YouTube tutorials and have provided hands-on robotics training to hundreds of youth in our community. We’ve also hosted almost 100 Friday night robot building parties for teen girls across the land. Now, we’re undergrad engineering students, using robotics as our launching pad into the world of artificial intelligence while building an online robotics ecosystem for the world at large and leaving a trail for girls+ who wanna come with us. You can read more about our unlikely journey down the robotics rabbit hole here.
OUR MASTER PLAN
We have a radical and crystal clear vision for the new culture that we want to build around girls+ and robotics. When fully built, it will be a dark, edgy, living, breathing community, an alternate universe that girls+ like us can immerse themselves in.
Our work over the last few years has shown us that we’re onto something powerful. We catch glimpses into the potential that Nerdy Girls has to be a gamechanger for girls+ everywhere. But, we’ve also barreled headfirst into a hard and sobering conclusion.
This dark, alternative culture that we’re carving out around girls+ and robotics cannot be built in a void. It demands a massive amount of infrastructure--we like to think of it as a living, breathing ecosystem of interconnected parts that are geared toward the kids who just wanna build robots from home and plug into an online robotics community. It’s hard to believe, but there are currently almost no scalable resources for the novice at-home builder. It’s a robotics wasteland out there.
And so, we’ve decided that this next chapter of our lives will be dedicated to building the parts of this robotics ecosystem that we so desperately need. And once this ecosystem is in place, then we’ll be ready to plant our Nerdy Girls seeds in the fertile soil and watch what grows. In other words, if we do this right, we think we’ll be positioned to change the game for girls+ on a massive scale.
With that introduction behind us, may we present…our Master Plan.
