The movement to teach kids (and adults) to code has really been gathering steam in the last five years.  What’s happened since then?  What’s going to happen in the future?

Did you know that women were at the center of the invention of computer science?  From Ada Lovelace in the 1800’s to the women at the core of computing during the World Wars and our flight to the moon, women have left their indelible stamps on the field of Computer Science.

A Google employee recently wrote a controversial memo about women and their evolutionary differences as it related to their propensity to code.  Are men really better equipped and more likely to major in, get a job in, and rise to the top in computer science?
