<div class="">Digital Careers, supported by Intel, are conducting research into why girls are not fully participating in computing at school in order to explore those ideas and initiatives that could be supported in 2016. <b class="">We would like to hear
ideas or initiatives to address the challenge of female participation in computing in schools.</b></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
A website at <a href="http://jzagami.info/wordpress/research/girls-computing" target="_blank" class="">http://jzagami.info/wordpress/research/girls-computing</a> has been setup where you can review selected research that has already been done, check out the
ideas being submitted by others, and submit your own new ideas or existing initiatives. We need contributions by the
<b class="">26th of July. </b></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">From the ideas and initiatives submitted we will then select those to take to the next phase of the project, when we will form groups to discuss the idea in detail, and assisted by one of the research team, develop this idea into a solution or
suggest improvements to existing initiatives.<br class="">
<br class="">
When the solutions are ready, we will send them out to a wide range of organisations and companies for feedback on what they think of your solutions. >From this, we will select those to present to Digital Careers to possibly implement next year.<br class="">
<br class="">
This is your chance to have an idea developed into a solution and put into practice, or develop further an existing initiative.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If you do have ideas or initiatives you know of, could you please record these on <a href="http://jzagami.info/wordpress/research/girls-computing" class="">http://jzagami.info/wordpress/research/girls-computing</a></div>
