An expert in many languages, her quip on Eng. always hits home: The most dangerous phrase in the Eng. language is: We've always done it this way. It raises the question, 'Are we doing this because we always have, or because it's the right thing to do? #CSEdWeek #RoleModelsinCS
Computer science icon Grace Hopper invented the COBOL programming language and was part of the team that developed the UNIVAC I computer. We honor Grace's work every year during #CSEdWeek, which is always set the week of her birthday — Dec. 9! 🎉 #HourOfCode #RoleModelsinCS
