You may wonder why you should study Computer Science? Computer
science research is constantly leading to advances in medicine,
technology to aid the disabled, fundamental research in all the
sciences, art, music and more.
My favorite websites for women in computing:
- ACM-W - An organization
within ACM, the premier academic and professional computing organization, devoted
to advancing the contributions of technical women.
- Building on Ada's
Legacy - An all-star list of women computer scientists with
brief bios, many including links to talks or papers. Includes our
own Valerie Barr and Jean Sammet!
- dot diva - a website for young
women who want to use computing to build a better world
- Anita Borg Institute for Women
and Technology - organizers of the Grace Hopper Celebration of
Women in Computing conference as well as the Systers online
community
- Computer
Science for Women - this website brings together information
that cuts across age groups, from how to encourage girls to pursue
computer science, through choosing a college and information about
scholarships, on to career opportunities.
