Gender-responsive knowledge transfer

Despite many efforts to inspire more women to study computer science, women are still very rare (in core computer science) and rather rare (in application-oriented computer science degree programmes).

It can be assumed that stereotypes are primarily responsible for the abstinence of women in computer science studies. In this project, random samples of exercises and explanatory examples in the core computer science subjects are examined to see to what extent they are gender-equitable and change when women are addressed as a target group, as happens in the women-only degree programmes in Germany.

Goal: Introduction to the topic, establishment of contacts with the women's degree programmes and initial assumptions about gender equity in the exercises and examples.
