    The importance of encouraging students, especially females, into the ICT field cannot be understated.

Three initiatives targeting different groups of female primary and high school students in various ways have been described in this article. All of these initiatives have provided optimistic results in the interim in terms of promoting positive ICT attitudes and/or encouraging females into ICT careers and study paths.The importance of encouraging students, especially females, into the ICT field cannot be understated.
