The NCWIT Scorecard shows trends in the participation of girls and women of different races and ethnicities in computing in the U.S. over time. With these data, you can measure progress and identify areas for improvement. NCWIT supplies these data visualizations for the computing community free of charge. Below, you can find interactive data visualizations for post-secondary degree completions and workforce data. (Just click on the plus sign!) You can also export individual Excel workbooks for each sector (K-12, post-secondary, workforce). Feel free to use these data in reports, presentations, proposals, and other research with the appropriate citation.
