Gender & Computing Joanne McGrath Cohoon

What now? A few reasons girls should study CS Some reasons few of them do What can we do about it? Contribute to a resource for high school teachers

Why should girls study CS? Flexible, creative, rewarding career; unmet need; gender equity; enhanced innovation

Many Total Job Openings Predicted for 2016

Relatively Low Unemployment Rates

IT occupations are well-paid Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics

Workforce needs will be unmet

Few HS Girls Plan a Computing Career Calculated with data from the College Board

Only CS is getting worse Calculated using IPEDS data from the U.S. Dept of Education

Why do few females pursue computing? Stereotypes reduce confidence and interest Educational policies allow choices influenced by stereotypes Lack of support and encouragement Lack of information Unconscious bias

Improve the situation by recruiting Students & their influencers Messages that persuade and stick Media that get attention more on this topic tomorrow

NCWIT resources can help with recruiting For more resources, see ncwit.org/resources.res.html

Help develop a new resource for recruiting Aimed at motivating teachers to offer computer science in “camps”
