Bonnie, thanks for the great article. I really am glad to hear that so much is being done to try and shrink the digital divide between boys and girls. Having just read The World is Flat, it is so apparent that we need to do all we can to create an interest in young people for math, science, and computer programming. In particular, I was interested to hear about Zoey's Room. I think anything that we can do to cultivate interest in engineering in young girls is a positive step.
