Abstract
Today more than ever, the importance of technology is increasing rapidly and related job opportunities are growing in electrical engineering, computer science and other related fields. Despite this trend, female employment in these fields is still low and it is hard to find renowned female scientists and programmers. In addition, most attendees at technology exhibitions and readers of technology magazines are male. Why aren't women interested in computer science and electrical engineering? I believe that creating an interest in technology and science for women from a young age could help increase the number of females in technology-based fields. When a mother and daughter make electronic crafts together, the mother becomes a good role model for technology use, and can help stimulate her child's interests in science and technology. This paper explores the reasons why women are not interested in technology and how this can be overcome.
