Hoopla:

• Grace Murray Hopper: Pioneer Computer Scientist

• Grace Hopper – Wikipedia

An American computer scientist and United States Navy rear admiral. A pioneer in the field, she was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, and developed the first compiler for a computer programming language.She conceptualized the idea of machine-independent programming languages, which led to the development of COBOL, one of the first modern programming languages. She is credited with popularizing the term \”debugging\” for fixing computer glitches (inspired by an actual moth removed from the computer).
