How to Attract Women (to Computer Science)

How to attract Women (to Computer Science)

Being a women teaching computers this article hit home. I know what it's like to be in a field surrounded by men. Both my building and district tech support are men and everyone thought it was weird when our district hired a women to be the tech support at our elementary school. My school district beyond our tech support is unusual. all four computer teachers between our middle and elementary schools are women, but at the high school level there are two men and one women. I myself never had a female computer teacher, they were all men and most classes I took in computers were heavy with mean a light on women.
