[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Computer Science Gender Gap Study

[Lesley Farmer]

Research Reveals Another STEM Gender Gap: Computer Science
If the attitudes of high school students are a good predictor of
eventual career choices, the future will continue to see computer
science fields dominated by males. According to new research released
by ACM and the W GBH Educational Foundation, compared with girls, more
than twice as many boys see computer science as a "good" or "very good"
choice as a college major. What's more, four times as many boys cited
computer science as a "very good" career choice.
