A Survey-Based Evaluation of the Efficacy of a Girls Who Code Club at the University of Southern Indiana
DescriptionPrograms like Girls Who Code (GWC) are pivotal in working to inspire and equip young women with the skills and confidence needed to pursue careers in computing. Understanding the impact of such initiatives is particularly important for addressing the decline in interest among girls aged 13 to 17, a critical period for career decision-making. By evaluating the effectiveness of employing a GWC club at our university, this research aims to uncover strategies that can successfully attract and retain women in computer science (CS) in our region. The goal is to not only reverse the trend of declining female participation but also to sustain their interest in the field of computing.
