No need to pinkify – Girls get interested in tech because it is interesting
The real way we&#x27;re going to see equity in girls going into computer science&#x2F;tech is for it to be an academic requirement, or at least an honors-level course in all high schools. In my high school in the 90&#x27;s, computer science was practically a vo-tech class so none of the smart girls took it - hobbyist boys were the ones with the most experience going into college. I had an engineer dad, was super into computers, and I didn&#x27;t even think of taking it.<p>Another approach is for it to become a more acceptable hobby for girls, but the social pressure is strong still for girls in the opposite direction. I think that one&#x27;s a harder battle in a lot of ways.
