Pioneers
Panel: Women Pioneers and
Trailblazers in Computing (for more
information, click here)
The Pioneers Panel is an international and
intergenerational group of distinguished women who have
excelled in technical and entrepreneurial areas of computer
science. An introductory presentation will describe each
pioneer's accomplishments and the state of the computing field
and society at the time, followed by a panel discussion and
questions from the audience. Topics will include: What
intellectual and social obstacles did these pioneers overcome?
What interested them in computer science and inspired them to
continue? What technical problems did they work on, and how
were they solved? Did they have mentors? How did they balance
work and their private lives? What changes have they seen in
the field over time? We will also ask them to offer their
advice to the audience on topics such as how to choose a
fruitful research project and how to find (and be) a good
mentor. Audience members will also be provided with a timeline
of women's accomplishments in computing. |
