between boys and girls preferences in simulations
and games. In addition, recommendations for the
career simulation of the SITCOM project are
presented. SITCOM-"Simulating IT-Careers for wOMen"
is an EU financed project that makes use of the
considerable potential of simulations and games to
motivate girls and young women to enter educational
pathways related to information and communication
technologies, science and engineering.
