Meet the women who programmed the first all-electronic computer and built the technological language kids today can’t live without. In 1946, six brilliant young women programmed the ENIAC, part of a secret World War II project. They learned to program without any programming languages or tools, and by the time they were finished, the ENIAC could run a complicated calculus equation in seconds. But when the ENIAC was presented to the press and public, the women were never introduced or even acknowledged! Learn all about what they did and how their invention still matters today in this story of six amazing young women everyone should meet!
