" summary

UK pipeline shows drop from ~50% at GCSE to 7% in higher ed and only 3% choosing tech, so an IBM partnership with Disney runs a Captain Marvel AI challenge that attracts 200 applications (minimum ~400 girls) selects top 10, gives six weeks of mentoring and Watson tooling to produce proof-of-concept demos solving real problems. Smaller efforts include Hursley labs days for ~90 girls, two hour to one hour school workshops, and open source machine learning for kids worksheets.
