Abstract

Since 1981 there has been a steady decrease in the number of women taking computing degrees at university. We present data which indicate the extent of this problem and we describe a continuing project at the University of Warwick whose aim is to attract more women into computing, as a degree course and as a career. The main component of the project is a one-week residential course for female sixth-form students. We discuss the aims, organization and results of the first of these courses, Warwick WISE 1987.
