ARLA/CLUSTER: RSGB celebra o contributo da mulher na história dos computadores

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Museum celebrates women in tech

At their centenary the RSGB encouraged young women to use Raspberry Pi
computer boards to decode radio signals, now the National Museum of
Computing
at Bletchley Park has opened a gallery celebrating the role of women in
computer history


The RSGB Buildathon took place July 5, 2013 at the centenary event in
Bletchley Park. It involved building a 20m PSK-31 radio and using a
Raspberry Pi to decode and display the text data being received.

The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) is located in the grounds of
Bletchley Park. The new gallery, sponsored by Google UK, documents the
important role women have played in building and programming pioneering
computers. It is hoped that the gallery will help to inspire more young
women and girls to take up a job in the computer world.

At the opening ceremony for the gallery Dame Stephanie Shirley said

"Girls must take advantage of the revival of computing in schools and
recognise and grab the opportunities that our wonderful sector offers.
Britain's economy demands that women are not just consumers, but rather
creators of new technologies and applications. This new Women in Computing
gallery at TNMOC will promote positive role models for women and so
encourage girls and women in critical thinking and engineering. It shows
the heroines of computing as historic facts to inspire the upcoming
generation."
