Supporting Girls in Computer Science
Supporting Girls in Computer Science
Emily CrawfordRoom K3273
In this talk, I will be discussing a proposal I shared with my department head and admin that advocated for the creation of an all-girls option of Grade 10 Computer Studies, or ICD2O. I will share the results of a survey sent to computer science students in my school as well as some of the academic research that has been done on this topic. Ideas and suggestions will be presented that aim to increase girls' interest, self-efficacy, and comfort in a computer science classroom, with time to discuss strategies as a group.
