The phenomenon of pipeline leakage exhibited in the field of computer science is also observed in all the sciences and mathematics. We can take advantages of the similarities between computer science and all the sciences to share the knowledge that has been gained to reverse this phenomenon. Two important factors that have been identified are (i) the number of math and science courses taken in high school and (ii) the view that many young women have of careers in science and computer science as being antisocial in nature. Our program addresses these factors by exposing the young women to the challenges of scientific and technical topics and by making role models and mentors readily accessible to young women who demonstrate an interest in science. After the common factors have been extracted to make all science more attainable and more attractive to women, each of the individual sciences, mathematics, and computer science can address any problems that are unique to that field.
