Abstract
Girls keep up with boys when it comes to using computers for activities like surfing the Internet and sending e-mail (Cook 2000). But girls are underrepresented in growing areas such as computer classes and degree programs. The need to have better software, and educational software, for girls is clearly evident. This paper explores the concept, the learning models, target audience, technological approach, and project goals of The Adventures of Josie True, a web-based software project for girls age 9 - 11 designed to encourage exploration and promote confidence in math and the sciences in a multicultural, educational environment.
