Make sure they are aware of the subtle messages that can steer girls away from computers. Be sure that teachers make computer use a mandatory activity for all students. Analyze your own attitudes toward technology. Expect and advocate for homework that includes complex problem-solving. Do not let boys monopolize the family computer.
Girls like to join clubs and take classes with friends.
Help them do this. Buy a girl a gift certificate to a computer store rather than clothing store. Spend time with your daughter on the computer. Let her teach you. Be involved in purchasing software.
