My favorite strategy is to use Gamification for students to work based in motivation. Girls love to collaborate and coding with AI could be awesome.
Activities as Hour of Code with Generation AI assure engagement by teaming up with the trusty Agent to develop AI-powered inventions, exploring the vast potential of AI and the importance of fair, reliable technology. This program allows students to correct coding problems, solve fun puzzles, and apply principles of responsible AI.
Generation AI is highly recommended as an engaging and creative introduction to computer science and responsible AI. There is a one-hour tutorial for students with the basics of coding, using MakeCode blocks or Python, and demonstrates how computational thinking can be used to solve problems. Understanding AI and its implications for girls is crucial for all students, making this an essential experience for fostering future-ready skills

Also I found 5 more ideas to promote girls in STEM
- Provide girl-centered programming so students can see themselves reflected in the curriculum.
- Introduce authentic hands-on challenges that are relatable and centered around connecting and supporting the community.
- Assist girls in building their toolbox to solve complex problems that encourage understanding, application, and empathy while focusing on mistake-making as an asset.
- Work alongside and learn in parallel with STEM/STEAM community mentors who participants see as role models.
- Build real-world connections to STEM/STEAM by engaging guest speakers and a career-focused curriculum so students see how this learning relates to their future.
