• Teen Girls and Technology: What's the Problem What's the Solution? by Lesley Farmer

From the back cover: "How do we kick-start girls' involvement with technology? In this dynamic book, Lesley Farmer provides a framework that teachers, librarians, youth workers, and parents can use to empower girls to succeed in today's technology-rich world. Farmer first examines the disconnect that many girls have with technology and then shows adults what they can do to change the current environment. Drawing on the work of experts in psychology, sociology, technology, and education, the book highlights school and after-school programs that have instilled confidence in teen girls and, as a result, increase their interest in technology-based careers. It also describes fun learning activities designed specifically for girls that are based on their developmental needs and interests."
