Abstract
Low enrollment rates in high school computer science (CS) courses suggest that students may be planning ineffectively for a future labor market. Female students enroll in these courses at far lower rates than their male peers and represent a small proportion of the high-technology workforce. To increase participation, all-female and mixed-gender CS classes were offered in grade 11 at one high school in Canada. Enrollment patterns were observed for three years. Results show increased participation, which increased the number of CS courses offered at the school. Implications are discussed.
