Given thatthe National Science Foundation Regional Center for Convergence Technology grant has as itsgoal the recruitment of underserved populations into the field of convergence technology, the“Girls are IT” workshop is designed to assist in accomplishing this goal by attracting more girlsinto studying these subjects. The workshop’s approach aligns with the effective best practicesidentified in a search of current scholarly literature concerning interventions that positively affectthe attitudes and knowledge of girls and their adult influencers with respect to careers inconvergence technology.1.

To evaluate this previous body of research, this study gathereddata across four research universities. Using structural equation modeling, it measuredenvironmental effects, i.e., academic integration or faculty distance on a) self-efficacy, b)academic confidence and c) self-regulated learning behaviors, and d) GPA.
