在美国，选择信息技术（IT）职业的女性的缺乏已被确定为一个全国性的问题。为消除这一现象，已作出努力，对年轻女孩进行技术教育。最近的研究表明，接触技术不足以改变年轻女孩对信息技术职业的态度，干预措施必须明确地将技术活动与职业联系起来。中西部一所大学的教职员工修改了一个针对中学女生的IT夏令营，增加了职业规划。该夏令营部署了女孩自我教育信息技术（GET IT）计划，以吸引中学女孩对IT职业的兴趣。本文描述了这个夏令营和其他社会影响因素对女孩在夏令营结束后立即和未来一年内追求IT职业的兴趣的影响。
The dearth of women choosing information technology (IT) careers has been identified as a national problem in the United States. Efforts have been made to combat this by educating girls at a young age about technology. Recent research demonstrates that exposure to technology is insufficient to change young girls’ attitudes towards IT careers and that interventions must explicitly tie technology activities to careers. Faculty and staff of a Midwestern university modified an IT summer camp for middle school girls to include career specific programming. The camp deployed the Girls Educating Themselves about Information Technology (GET IT) program to garner interest among middle school girls in IT careers. This article describes the impact of this summer camp and other social influence factors on girls’ interest in pursuing careers in IT, immediately after camp completion and one year in the future.
