Abstract

This paper presents a brief literature review of the involvement of women in computer science, of high school computer science curricula, and of an increasing interest in single-sex education. A study was conducted to determine if the high school environment is a factor in encouraging girls' interest in and attitude toward computers. A description of the study and its results are discussed.
