For example, bedrestcould be a real possibility, given that an estimated 20% of women are prescribed bedrest at somepoint in their pregnancy.14 When one of my female colleagues was put on bedrest, it was nearthe end of the semester. Fortunately, she was teaching a graduate-level class and had justassigned their final project so that she was not lecturing anymore. She conducted researchmeetings and office hours and continued to work on her laptop in a supine position for over amonth. Due dates can be another tricky matter.

be gender neutral because boys can and should play a role in reducing the barriers and social stigmas for girls in STEM. 4. Many girls are confident in their own creative abilities, causing them to be both a) discriminating consumers of marketing material, and b) drawn to activities that play to their artistic strengths. They are attracted to activities that build their confidence, give them the opportunity to express and explore their emotions, and enable them to feel like they are making a positive difference in some way. 5. Teachers and parents are very strong influencers and would benefit from understanding

This method of increasing compensation offers numerous opportunities for biaseddecisions.Compounding the problem of retaining diverse faculty are voluntary departure rates for womenfaculty, which are double those for men.

This taught them about turning, program modularity, errorchecking, and the importance of testing small portions of code.The second project was a video project. The campers were asked to identify a real-worldproblem and design a solution using robotics. Using the Linkbots, they then had to create a videoto explain the problem and their solution. This project was designed to show them how they canuse their skills in engineering, computing, and robotics to solve problems, something girls seemto identify with. They were also able to use their seemingly
