The Iron Maidens (or "Fe Maidens") are an all-girls competitive robotics team at Bronx Science High School - and one of the only all-female teams in the country. Follow these bright girls as they design, build and compete their robot in a national competition. A revealing exploration of these fearless trailblazers and their connections to one another, Iron Maidens demonstrates how their combined efforts lead them to excel at solving problems no one expects them to. Maybe now people will stop saying "they're pretty good at this--for Girls."
