Attracting Females to STEM/FIRST

There is an interesting discussion going on in the I Am Jane Cosmetics thread about a specific instance, early in the process, of attracting females to STEM hobbies and careers. There are also many other threads throughout the years discussing the issues involved in being a female interfacing in what is perceived to be a male-dominated field.
What can we do to, as Dean referenced several times at CMP, become more inclusive? What can we do to become more attractive to females? Should we target specific ages?
By virtue of my own gender, I do not feel comfortable making suggestions here. I'd like to know what you, the Chief Delphi community, and specifically the female denizens, find appealing about the program and how to make this feel safe, comfortable, and attractive to all - especially women.
