Childwise was commissioned by Tech Partnership to consult with a wide range of individuals, including girls aged 9-18, parents, teachers and women in industry, to discover what can be done to make the technology industry more appealing to young women, and help increase the number who choose to become involved in tech careers. The research comprised of three stages: Knowledge building - speaking with women already pursuing a career in technology; Evaluating the potential solutions - this stage focused on introducing and gathering in-depth feedback about the potential solutions; and Measuring the potential solutions - for this final stage of research the authors measured the incidence of views relating to technology, and evaluated the proposed solution in terms of their popularity among a larger sample of girls, parents and teachers.
