"When you make a thing, a thing that is new, it is so complicated making it that it is bound to be ugly. But those that make it after you, they don’t have to worry about making it. And they can make it pretty, and so everybody can like it when others make it after you."
Wait a minute! I am a female and I love burning stuff and blowing stuff up!
Though I have been accused of being a weirdo at times. Mostly by other women.
What I like about FIRST is those girls seem to understand. FIRST and STEM are the
best things to have happened in our schools. Not only are the kids happily engaged in
active learning it is bringing a much better mix of kids together!
11-year-old Gitanjali Rao won this year's Discovery Education and 3M Young Scientist Challenge.
Her winning invention was a sensor that can more accurately detect lead levels in water compared to current methods.

Met this tenth-grade girl briefly at Maker Faire, but didn't see her exhibit. Just checked out her website, WOW. She's a ball of energy. Watch out for hot Coco! She'll give Ladyada a run for her money in a few years!

Am I the only one who still thinks CoCo stands for Radio Shack's TRS-80 Color Computer?

It might be Nadine keeping females (AND males) out of robotics. She's creepy and has MANHANDS (Seinfeld reference).

Not sure if my 8 y.o. twin girls will be roboticists, but they came to Dad for some electronic lights & sounds in their pinewood derby cars. It's a charming first step towards kicking some butt!

I love this commercial for the University of Phoenix encouraging women to enter tech fields. Their YouTube page says this about the one-minute spot (there is a 30-second version too), "As automation takes over manufacturing jobs, a single mom chooses to adapt instead of being left behind. In this inspirational video, she finds the motivation to rise above her circumstances, reinvent herself with updated skills and become more relevant in today’s workforce. We can do it."

I believe that the analytical engine, never having been built, was intended to be operated by Georgiana Whitmore, she married Charles Babbage, the man who designed it.

There is no mention Georgina Whitmore or whatever she may have done with punch cards in the links you provide.
Googling around I don't find much about Georgina Whitmore apart from the fact she was married to Charles Babbage and had 8 children. One of which was also called Georgina Whitmore, just to confuse things.
I cannot find any of my other links, sorry. she may have been mentioned as Georgina Babbage. One of my sources said that the machine(analytical or difference engines) was programmed by punch cards made and inserted by "...his wife.".

Cindy Crawford graduated valedictorian in 1984, then went to Northwestern University to major in chemical engineering before dropping out to model. With the right push, she could have been a noteworthy roboticist!

Sadly the computer to run it did not get built until 1985.
I sent her some hardware, including a FLiP!
Could one of you check in to see if she has put it to use yet?
Ken Gracey
I sent her a note to find out Ken and invited her here and to Blockly for Microcontrollers Facebook!

Of course then, as now, there is a lot of difference between a computer operator and a computer programmer.
With the Babbage machines the operator only had to turn the crank !
