Gender Gap in Computer Usage by ali elboukhari is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Girls in 6th grade have equal access to computers as boys, but by high school researchers find a "major new gender gap". Girls are less comfortable with computers, using them mainly for word processing rather than problem solving. Studies show girls make up a small percentage of computer science students, rate their computer abilities lower than boys, and use computers less outside of class. To compete effectively in the 21st century, this technology gender gap between girls and boys must be closed.
