DRIVE LIKE A GIRL follows New York's champion all-girls robotics team, The Iron Maidens, a year after beating 60+ male-dominated teams in a regional competition. They advanced to the national stage but lost before winning it all. Now, they've returned for another shot with six weeks to design, program and build a robot. It's a glimpse at the changing roles of females in science and technology.
