The Boolean Girl Project

Description

• The Boolean Girl Project is focused on engaging girls back into IT. Careers in technology fields represent a tremendous opportunity for todays youth. Demand for individuals educated in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is soaring. According to the U.S. Department of Education, between 2010 and 2020 careers in Systems Software Development will increase by 32%. Yet women are opting out of these opportunities at an alarming rate. According to National Center for Women & Information Technology, in 1985, 37% of Computer Science degrees were awarded to women. In 2012, the number dropped to 12%.The Boolean Girl Project intends to begin bridging the STEM education and career gap with a direct focus on empowering girls from an early age. Through a rich and varied set of age-appropriate tools, the Project seeks to inspire girls to harness their creative talents, develop logical thinking and sequencing and gain confidence in their decision-making skills. By engaging girls during the critical cross-over years of 3rd to 8th grades, the Boolean Girl Project specifically strives to ensure girls remain interested in Information Technology, ultimately increasing the number of women pursuing technology-based careers.Boolean Girl -> Create - Innovate - Have Fun.
