Good job Google

I just flipped over to Google for a project and their title screen has changed yet again. This one features a woman sitting in front of a prototype of a computer entering code. The animation is in honor of a woman named Grace Hopper, one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark 1 computer and one of the first female computer scientist (which I only know because after I clicked on the animation to learn more, I couldn't stop reading about her). Beneath the animation, Google also has a link to a video about the lack of computer programming and coding being offered in schools. I was so happy to see that the two individuals narrating the video and educating others about coding were women. While I know that it was probably a play on Google's part to make sure to use women given the animation is honoring a woman, I was still excited. This is a relatively good example of how media coverage and promotion of women can lead to more women entering "male" fields. I hope that Google continues to promote a nice mix of individuals!
