Information covering important topics for today's educators and parents. Major programs address mathematics and science education, adolescent health issues, and media literacy. Field researchers observed girls ages nine to fourteen at the Girls Incorporated centers, in math and science classes at school, and, where possible, at home. The researchers recorded the overt and covert messages given to and by girls about math, science, and technology. The primary conclusion of this study is that girls need more opportunities and adult encouragement to explore mathematics, science, and technology, to take reasonable risks, to work with the materials themselves, and to make mistakes.
