Cool article. I'm perplexed as to why it's going down, reasons given or not. It's such a cool, exciting space.
Actually my school gets a mention: " "There is some early evidence that an emphasis on interesting end-goals may help increase the enrollment of women in computer science courses: researchers at Georgia Tech have created an introductory programming course for non-CS majors that emphasizes the use of programming to manipulate digital media; the class is 2/3 female."
I can assure you that NO class at Georgia Tech is 2/3 female.
