ScholarshipInstitute.org analyzed Code.org's 2024 State of Computer Science Education report to look at computer science offerings in Massachusetts and why the gender gap persists.

The article from Boston 25 News discusses the increasing mainstream adoption of computer science in U.S. education, yet highlights the persistent underrepresentation of young women in this field, particularly in Massachusetts. Despite efforts to promote gender equality in tech, statistics show that only about 25% of computer science graduates in Massachusetts are women. The piece explores various initiatives aimed at encouraging more female participation, such as coding camps, scholarships, and mentorship programs. It also points out the cultural and systemic barriers that continue to deter women from pursuing computer science, including stereotypes, lack of role models, and sometimes unwelcoming educational environments. The article underscores the importance of diversity in tech for innovation and economic growth, urging for more inclusive strategies to bridge the gender gap in computer science education.
