经验是必要的，但不足以让女孩们展望未来的计算机职业生涯。这项研究调查了在八年级结束时在全女生环境中参加了三年必修计算机科学课程的女孩的经历和态度。三分之一的参与者对计算机职业持开放态度，而三分之二的参与者则不是。对计算机事业持开放态度的女孩对计算机有更高的兴趣和信心，对计算机有更多的社会支持，与不想从事计算机职业的女孩相比，她们认为自己更像是一名计算机科学家。
Experience is necessary but not sufficient to cause girls to envision a future career in computing. This study investigated the experiences and attitudes of girls who had taken three years of mandatory computer science classes in an all-girls setting in middle school, measured at the end of eighth grade. The one third of participants who were open to computing career were compared to the two thirds were not. Girls open to a computing career had higher interest and confidence in computing, had more social support for computing, and saw themselves as more like a computer scientist than girls who did not want a computing career.
