Women in computer science

by Sajid Ali, Markus Forbrig and Ludwig Koch

This project explores the role of women in computer science. An interactive exhibit with simple mini-games was created to help visitors learn about women’s achievements in the field. Visitors can read biographies and engage with games linked to real inventions. For instance, one game allows users to program an ARM chip, while another demonstrates how Margaret Hamilton’s work contributed to the moon landing. The exhibit is designed to make learning accessible and engaging. Its goal is to highlight both the impact of these women and the significance of their contributions, while encouraging reflection on the importance of diversity in computer science.
