Question

Some people think of computer programming as a male-dominated field. But the first algorithm to be executed by a computer was created by Ada Lovelace and the first compiler (which is a tool for converting one programming language into another) was created by Grace Hopper. What do you think could be done to encourage more women to study computer science?

Answer 1

Answer:

Various campaigns and awareness program can be launched to encourage women to study computers.

Explanation:

Ada Lovelace was a great mathematician and is famous for computing. She was very fond of mathematics. She did some exceptional work on various computer concepts. Thus she is considered as the first computer programmer. While Grace Hopper was a well known computer compiler and a computer scientist.

So it is clear from above that computer programming or studying about computers is not a male dominating thing. Women have done exceptionally good in this field.

Women should be encouraged more about studying and learning computers and programming languages. Various campaigns can be launched to spread the awareness. It should brought to public notice that studying computers does not require extra skills or knowledge and everybody can study and excel in them.

Free study programs or classes can be organised for the girls and women to learn about computers and different programming languages so that more and more women can come enroll themselves in the program and study computers.
