Celebrating women’s contributions to technology with Starburst

In celebration of Women's History Month, Starburst highlights the significant contributions of women to the field of technology, starting with pioneers like Ada Lovelace, who envisioned machines capable of creative outputs in the 1800s, and Grace Hopper, whose development of the first compiler in 1952 revolutionized computer interaction. The initiative continues with modern efforts such as Reshma Saujani's Girls Who Code, which has introduced over 500,000 girls to programming, and Dr. Fei-Fei Li's AI4ALL, which promotes inclusion in AI education for underrepresented communities. The legacy of trailblazers like Katherine Johnson, whose work at NASA in the 1960s defied gender and racial barriers, underscores the narrative that diversity in technology is about empowering women to lead and innovate. Starburst Galaxy offers a platform to analyze data and explore the history and future trajectory of women in technology.
