Abstract

It is an ongoing industrial concern that there is an under-representation of women in the field of Computer Science. The "shrinking pipeline" [1] illustrates that this problem occurs at every stage of the educational process. The recently launched UK ICT curriculum will give students a better understanding of Computer Science, and as such they will need accurate information surrounding the subject. Teachers will also need assistance with the change in order to support gender friendly teaching.

This poster will give an overview of the resources that teachers require, based on a combination of a literature review and the results of interviews and surveys conducted during this research. These resources will be made available online with an aim to assist teachers with the curriculum changes and also to increase the number of female students enrolling on Computational degree courses.
