Andrea pointed out a while ago a statistic showing that girls in the 7th and 8th grade demographic find themselves becomming disinterested with math and science. So I tried to find a site that pushes them to hold onto those interests...
www.GirlsGoTech.org
This site is an honest attempt... but it's basically just a few games. There is no social element, and that seems to be a fundamental flaw. There's a lot of text that basically keeps telling girls "Technology is a big part of your life!!!" but that's about it. Also, it's sponsored by The Girl Scouts, and by 7th and 8th grade, girls probably think the whole scouting thing is pretty lame.
