Grace shaped not only an industry but through her contributions to computer completely reshaped the society we live in today. • While it’s true that Grace literally wrote the book on how to program the world’s first computers many of the story about Grace as misleading or patently false. • Melissa Pierce, Producer and Director of Born with Curiosity: The Story of Grace Murray Hopper, will weave together the story of the life and times of Grace Hopper using archive footage, photographs, and various oral histories to bring you a more honest and true portrait of Grace both a legend and a person. • This presentation is part of our Women in Tech speaker series celebrating Women’s History Month. • https://chihacknight.org/events/2017/...
