Changing the university education of computer science

In nearly all daily life situations, information technology (IT) is present. The perspectives for both men and women in IT jobs are very good. Nevertheless, many girls and young women don't bother to become computer scientists. The technical image of computer science is determined by the image of the hacker, and women feel excluded. In the project 'Informatica Feminale-Summer University for Women in Informatics' at the Department of Informatics, University of Bremen (Germany), women are trying to change this image and to develop their own viewpoints of computer science.
