<p style="">Thanks everyone for sharing so many good projects, not everything I was aware of. I knew there were many active people in this list, but seeing so many caring about this is refreshing (I am a new member, remember).<br>
</p>
<p style="">When temporarily working at the ministry of education of my country I had made several attempts in this direction, with promising outcomes (except the government didn't last long enough for any implementation) - hence my interest.<br>
</p>
<p style=""><br>
</p>
<p style="">ps my mum was a programmer :-) I got a hard science education, but ended up at university doing something completely different, still maintaining a passion for messing around with machines and software. Proof that freedom of choice is the way to
go, but that we need to multiply the role models for those who are too young to be on this list! Thanks for all your work and dedication.<br>

I founded and run the ENIAC Programmers Project -- that researched and now works to tell the story of the six young women who programmed the first all-electronic, digital computer, as part of a secret WWII project in the US. When the ENIAC was unveiled to the
press and the public in 1946, after the War, the hardware engineers and Army officers (all men) were introduced, but the women (the programmers were not). One of the reasons we think girls shy away from computing is the lack of role models -- and we are trying
to bring these invisible women into the light! <br>

<div>Interesting that you mention that. Some women on this list are working very hard to share rolemodels in technology with girls and young women - to assure them that computing and technology careers lie within their future -- and that we need them badly!!!<br>

<div>Anyway the problem is when women are... What... 6, 10-year-old. i mean, when they are girls with many options but get shown only some (and science/computing hardly among the latter)<br>
