有关计算机领域女性的文献指出，计算机科学在吸引和留住女性方面并没有效果。媒体计算导论是一门新的 CS1，特别针对非专业人士，其设计明确是为了解决女性在计算机科学领域的担忧，例如缺乏相关性和创造力。该课程围绕操纵和创建媒体的主题进行背景化。在参加该课程的 121 名学生（2/3 女性）中，只有 3 名学生退学（全是男性），89% 的人以 C 或更高的成绩完成了课程。本文提供了媒体计算课程中女性访谈的数据，然后与更传统的 CS1 课程中的访谈进行了对比。
Literature on women in computing points out that computer science is not being effective at attracting and retaining women. Introduction to Media Computation is a new CS1 aimed especially at non-majors which was designed explicitly to address the concerns of women in computer science, such as the lack of relevance and creativity. The course is contextualized around the theme of manipulating and creating media. Of the 121 students who took the course (2/3 female), only three students dropped (all male), and 89% completed the course with a grade C or better. This paper presents data from interviews with women in the Media Computation class, then contrasts with interviews in a more traditional CS1.
