<div>Hi All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Has any one got any strategies that have worked to turn around the gender imbalance in selecting ICT electives in middle years?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would be particularly interested in knowing how you pitched your elective to make it attractive to girls.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, is ICT compulsory in years 7 & 8 at your school? Do you believe that contributed to better participation from girls in higher years?</div>
<div> </div>
