This worthy project is not useful so much for its assessments (only a few sites are assessed) as for its methodology. The authors identify eight criteria for evaluating materials with respect to gender (click on 'theory behind the research' to find them). Resources strong in these eight areas are more likely to appeal to young women than are resources weak these areas. I think these criteria should be considered not only when designing materials to teach science and technology, but also when using science and technology to teach. The entire PDF version of the report is almost impossible to find on the site, but you can access it at DouglasCRLF
