Disney, Marvel Studios, Dolby Laboratories, Visa Signature and Raspberry Pi® are proud to unite to sponsor a nationwide MARVEL’S ANT-MAN MICRO-TECH CHALLENGE in conjunction with the July 17 release of Marvel’s "Ant-Man"! Learn more by watching the video above.
 
Building on the success of the Ultimate Mentor Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy: Guardians of Good, Marvel is launching, ANT-MAN MICRO-TECH CHALLENGE with Raspberry Pi. The challenge invites girls nationwide, ages 14 – 18, in grades 9-12, to design and build a DIY project using at least one readily available micro-technology component, which can enable tinkerers, makers, builders and future Imagineers to execute big ideas with a board that fits in their pocket and costs less than a video game. The projects can be utilitarian, artistic or just plain fun. 
 
After completing a project, applicants will be asked to submit a short video demonstrating the project and explaining how it will inspire other girls to pursue interests in science, technology, engineering, or math. 
 
The five winners will each receive: Two round-trip tickets to Southern California, including hotel accommodations, from June 28 through June 30, 2015, to be on the red carpet at the World Premiere of Marvel’s "Ant-Man" at the Dolby Theatre® in Dolby Atmos® on June 29, 2015; attend a special “The Evolution of Technology” workshop on June 30 at The Disneyland® Resort where they will meet Walt Disney Imagineers who will introduce them to the broader scope of technology and how innovation is inspired during a behind-the-scenes tour of The Disneyland® Resort; and receive a tour of the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. 
 
Upon completion of the challenge, a STEM-based girls program in each winner’s hometown will be selected to receive “re-create” instructions for each project. Each winner will have the opportunity to lead a workshop in building her project with the girls in the selected program in her community. By sharing their work, the winners will accomplish big things from small beginnings by inspiring other young girls to follow their interests in computing, technology, and engineering. 
 
Entries will be accepted from May 21, 2015 through June 11, 2015. For application forms, eligibility requirements, official contest rules and more information about MARVEL’S ANT-MAN MICRO-TECH CHALLENGE, please visit www.Ant-ManChallenge.com

please let her be wasp. The Avengers need a new scientist to replace Stark and Banner. She would bring a new dynamic we haven't seen yet on the team.

C'mon give us the Wasp! I'd give her a helmet/mask referencing her first costume, but tweaked to resemble something aerodynamic since she flys. Will she take inspiration from Yellowjacket?

@0megaDaGr0dd Lmao! I still see fishnets sometimes on some Latino Review articles, actually.

I swear, some of you just look at the purty pictures and don't read the articles. No duh it's girls-only. It's an initiative explicitly designed to help get more girls into STEM fields, which are traditionally male dominated.

Why would they include boys, the majority, in a contest EXPLICITLY ABOUT TRYING TO DIVERSIFY the field? That's like complaining about how a contest designed to make clean energy doesn't also allow entries about coal and fossil fuels, LOL.

And its girls only because, like rorywilliams said, the STEM fields are dominated by men and most girls by the time they hit high school no longer have an interest in STEM careers. This is an attempt to diversify the fields and to shoe that, hey, obviously girls can do excellent things with science and math.

Maybe- juuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssst maaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyybe women by nature are generally drawn to different things than men- and maaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyybbbbeeee thats.....OK.

And maybe all this posturing and pandering is more about a showy display and the smugness of vanity, coupled with arbitrary quotas and group-think box-checking and the merit of an individual, or an individual's interest in a thing is not relevent to self-worshipping faux-intellectual ass clowns.

Just a theory.

Thank you my man. But i realize - when we arent obviously kidding around which most of us do 90% of the time lol-
Most people DO have good intent.
But we're all different. Different talents and limitations. Different interests.

No one should be unfairly discriminated against- but if we go through life saying:
"Statistically, women make 52% of the population so any enterprise thats doesnt include 52% women is sexist"
We arent getting anywhere. Maybe 52% of women dont want to do a thing.
Maybe only 5% of women do. Those women should be allowed to try and be judged by merit.

See how many men do traditionally womens jobs. You NEVER chuckled at a MALE "nurse" ?
C'mon.

Basically what @Jorl is getting at is that equality of outcome is not true equality. Now equal opportunity is; it doesn't matter if you're a man, woman, transgender, heterosexual, homosexual, pansexual, Black, White, Hispanic, Oriental, etc, you have the same opportunities as everyone else, it's just a matter of striving for them.
