The Real Projects for Real Clients Courses (RPRCC) initiative is a new (K-12 and college level) ACM-W project aimed at recruiting young women into, and retaining them in, computing-related majors. The initiative’s approach is based upon a 35-year-long psychological study that followed hundreds of mathematically- and scientifically-talented youth from middle school to middle age and elucidates gender differences in career choice.
