Technology Probes to Explore How Children Learn About Gender Stereotypes

There are widespread gender stereotypes in society that would influence children’s physical and mental cognitive development and future career choices. Gender equality education for children is critical. However, few studies have explored how technology can be used to promote gender equality education and developed educational tools to help children learning gender equality.
