I think this would be a wonderful point in time-to see how many high school girls, on average would choose tech on their own- then show them

So then, logically, little girls who DO love math when kids-should be going into tech-but something breaks in between.Is that bio or social?

What breaks in between? I don't know what you mean? Why do you think something breaks?

Why aren't the numbers of instinctively interested, brilliant little girls in math (high) being reflected in choice to go into tech?

Do you have some evidence of this? That girls drawn primarily to maths suddenly lose interest?

On average. They also have more options because girls high in maths skills are also likely to be high in verbal skills while boys aren't.
