This message is a respond to a question during the EdEquity Dialogue with
the Experts on Technology and Equity, July 16-20, 2001.
Glad you enjoyed the discussion. The only stats I have for African-American
females are as follows:
Percentage of AP Computer Science Test Takers, 1999
African American women were 10% of women taking the exam
83% of African American women scored a 1 on the exam, more than
twice the percentage for all women with this score (41%).
-Source, Tech-Savvy: Educating Girls in the New Computer Age, AAUW
page 42 Great book you can order on their web site if you haven't read it.
Hope this is helpful.
Sorry this took so long but was out Thursday and Friday conducting our
two-day train-the-trainer WomenTech training which went great!!!!
I am happy to see so much dialogue on technology and gender
still happening!!!

Hi Donna and all.
I've enjoyed your entries to the EDEQUITY list serve. Do you have
data/statistics on topics regarding African - American females technology?
I am working on a presentation where such data may be useful for the
participants. I would appreciate any assistance.With warm regards,
Thank you,
Ken Dickson
