Anne-Marie Imafidon spoke to The London Times last week about getting more girls into STEM (here too if you hit the paywall). 

“We should be saying to women: here are ten problems affecting the world right now. Try to find technological solutions.”

So true.  Research consistently shows that girls care more about technology when it is contextualized, and often have an altruistic bent.  Thanks for the Hopscotch shoutout, Anne-Marie!
