Abstract

But having said all that, we are not there yet, and 36 detailed recommendations follow. The authors believe there is something in these recommendations for many interest groups and individuals: feminists, gender theorists, and researchers; governments, policymakers, and taxpayers; parents, educators (primary, secondary, trade, and tertiary), the media and content developers; individual activists and advocates, traditional women in IT associations and their sponsors and supporters, and new social media-style women in tech associations and specialist groups; employers and recruiters; and above all, the individual women and men in technology. The recommendations are structured into logical groupings that work within the STEMcell model: hackathons and code camps, crowdsourcing and crowd funding, social media and join the conversation, and hangout and collaborate, all framed by the changing tectonic shift environment and with the overall goal to foster a curious, creative, and clever culture. The recommendations are also summarized in the Appendix.
