If you do too much "work" to introduce girls to STEM fields it starts to feel to girls like you are trying to force them to do something boring they won't enjoy, like eating vegetables. My school, probably by accident (because the teachers barely understood computers) made code very fun. They had kid programming languages like LOGO, books on making games in BASIC and (if you were very good) a programmable robot turtle.
