Computer science students take a trip to the University of Pennsylvania to learn more about opportunities for women.

Currently, females make up only 18 percent of the students who study engineering and computer science across the country. Programs like this are designed to encourage women to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) careers.
