Solution? - need to offer after school virtual coding clubs in secondary school then all will arrive at uni with the basics already

The thing is I don't even know if it matters if they know the basics. The biggest problem at undergrad isn't the disparity of knowledge but the fear/male geek trope/internalised misogyny going on. Stop gendering subjects and things might work out well.
-
I agree. Even women in tech fields who have excelled at traditionally male subject areas still feel fear.
-
The number of times people literally said "you are stupid" to me, not counting the times it was hinted, when I did compsci undergrad...
-
That’s outrageous. Another problem is women who mutter it to themselves....
-
Not sure that is their fault though, but yes, I try not to ever say that about myself.
-
Or actually anybody. It's a pretty ableist term.
