Article Synopsis
- Many girls feel they lack natural ability in computer science and have low self-efficacy beliefs for programming.
- Engaging, hands-on programming activities can help boost girls' confidence, but short workshops may not provide the best environment due to time constraints and gender stereotypes.
- A study with 172 students showed that after a 2-hour programming workshop, the initial gender gap in self-efficacy for programming was significantly reduced or eliminated.
