The study is based on data gathered through a Nordplus project in 2017–2018, in Iceland and Norway, through surveys and group interviews with 16–19 year old female secondary school students and one of their teachers.The findings reveal that young women appreciate chances to try out some creative IT tools and the participants also expressed generally positive attitude towards creative IT. They regret not having received more information about creative IT as well as insight into creative IT fields, study and job opportunities throughout their schooling, and they appreciate visible female role models within technology.
