GRACE HOPPER

I really like coding because it is fun, I use scratch to code and I really hope I'll inspire

other people so they can be as good as I am. This project is about Grace Hopper, she was a pioneering computer scientist, and a naval admiral, she is sometimes referred to as "Amazing Grace ".

Grace Hopper was born in 1906 in New York City. In 1934 she earned a PhD in mathematics, when the second world war began she joined the Navy, the Navy sent her to Harvard to program the first ever electronic computer.

After the war, she joined the private sector. At that time coders used a binary code to program. Grace Hopper wanted to find an easier way to code so she created the first universal computer language, she called it COBOL!

FUN FACT

Grace Hopper had a backward clock in her office to remind her that things don't have to work in just one way.
