While interest in computing is steadily declining in US among women, more women are attracted to computing and seeking technical CS degrees in Turkey. In this talk, members of Turkish Women in Computing will discuss the results of ongoing research based on survey conducted on this discrepancy among its members and their connections who are women with computing degrees. We will briefly present the hypotheses previously presented at Global Voices conference in 2014 and how our findings compare with these hypotheses previously presented. We will also talk about our data collection methodology and some interesting surprises we encountered about demographics that affected the results.
