Baroness Platt introduces two films which encourage girls to consider careers in engineering and computer science.
1: Women in Engineering A film from the Learning Resources branch of the ILEA.
Young women who have chosen engineering talk about their jobs, how their family and friends reacted to their choice of career, their plans for the future, and what it is like to work in an area dominated by men. 2: The Gender Gap
Girls are often excluded from computers at home and in school. They're even told that they shouldn't be interested in technology.
Celia Hoyles , Professor of Mathematics at the London Institute of Education, explores the myths and prejudices about computing and girls. Producers
