Step 4: Share Information Gently

Say: "This is actually a really common observation, and researchers have studied it a lot. What they've found is that girls are often just as interested, but they respond to different things..."

Information to share:

• Girls often prefer projects with social impact or creative expression
• Competition-focused activities can discourage some girls
• Representation matters—do they see girls/women in CS?
• Classroom dynamics matter—are girls being called on equally?
