一句话：通过跨学科数据科学在线课程干预，单性别班级女孩对计算机科学更开放、情感更积极。
计算机科学与软件工程中的性别差距长期存在，许多女孩难以认同计算机科学，若不吸引女孩及其非刻板贡献，创新潜力会受限。本文报告一项干预：以解决生物学与地生态学中的蜂群崩溃失调为宏大目标，设计新颖的跨学科数据科学在线课程，激发女孩对计算机科学与编程的兴趣。评估比较单性别班级（SGC）与混合性别班级（MGC）女孩的反应，发现SGC女孩对CS相关主题显著更开放，干预也在她们身上引发显著更积极的情感。结果强调CS主题的引入方式以及学习环境对实现真正性别包容教育的关键影响。
Computing-driven innovation cannot reach its full potential if only a fraction of the population is involved. Without girls and their non-stereotypical contribution, the innovation potential is severely limited. In computer science (CS) and software engineering (SE), the gender gap persists without any positive trend. Many girls find it challenging to identify with the subject of CS. However, we can capitalize on their interests and create environments for girls through interdisciplinary subcultures to spark and foster enthusiasm for CS. This paper presents and discusses the results of an intervention in which we applied a novel interdisciplinary online course in data science to get girls excited about CS and programming by contributing to the grand goal of solving colony collapse disorder from biology and geoecology. The results show the potential of such programs to get girls excited about programming, but also important implications in terms of the learning environment. The startling results show that girls from single-gender classes (SGCs) are significantly more open to CS-related topics and that the intervention evoked significantly more positive feelings in them than in girls from mixed-gender classes (MGCs). The findings highlight the importance of how CS-related topics are introduced in school and the crucial impact of the learning environment to meet the requirements of truly gender-inclusive education.
