WATCH: How to empower girls in the classroom

In middle school, 74 percent of girls express interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) subjects, but when choosing a college major, just 0.3 percent of high school girls select computer science, according to the non-profit, Girls Who Code. The organization further notes that women today represent only 12 percent of all computer science graduates. In 1984, they represented 37 percent.

Join CBS This Morning co-host Norah O'Donnell for a Google+ Hangout On Air to debate how to further empower girls in the classroom and encourage them to tackle a diverse group of subjects.

Panelists will include Lean In's Rachel Thomas, Girls Who Code's Deborah Jackson, and Cosmopolitan Magazine's Sara Austin, and 2012 National Teacher of the Year Rebecca Mieliwocki
