Lawlor, Grace; Byrne, Philip; Tangney, Brendan – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2020
The provision of all-female computer science outreach programmes is a common strategy used to foster greater interest in the subject for high school aged girls.

Duplicating processes and procedure with anticipation of deviating outcomes is the defining trait of insanity as attributed to a quote by Albert Einstein. It is the antithesis to innovation, which is what is needed in higher education to create impactful changes in the outreach we should be providing to the community. What is important for those…
