Girls' lack of interest in Information Communication Technology (ICT) is clearly evident by senior secondary school and short-term initiatives have failed to change girls' attitudes. This school based program will build girls' ICT skills and confidence, increase girls' motivation to continue studying ICT and enter the ICT workforce. It will also maximise the benefits of the 'Education Revolution' ensuring all students can fully exploit the technology.
The Digital Divas project is funded from 2009 -2011 through the Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Scheme and is currently being undertaken by Professor Julie Fisher, Faculty of Information Technology Monash University, Associate Professor Catherine Lang, Faculty of ICT Swinburne University, Associate Professor Helen Forgasz, Faculty of Education, Monash University and Associate Professor Annemieke Craig, Faculty of Business and Law, Deakin University.
The Digital Divas Club would like to thank the following research partners for their assistance in the development of the Digital Divas curriculum and program.
