According to data from the 2021 STEM Equity Monitor, only 23% of the 2021 Information Technology research and teaching workforce was female. To contribute to more opportunities and supported pathways into STEM, we need to investigate ways to improve female engagement with digital technologies at school. The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) is conducting a research study for CSIRO looking into the factors that help or stop young female students participating in digital technologies education.
