The Secrets of Women in Coding

Who invented the 3D Tic-Tac-Toe?

Do you know who invented the 3D Tic-Tac-Toe? You can find answers from one of the following tables. It’s a common notion that technology is a field dominated by men, but the fact is that technology or programming has nothing to do with gender.

It is pretty much anyone’s game:a little research on the Internet would show there is a plethora of women who have proved their mettle in the field of technology.

Let's Play Tic-Tac-Toe!

Computer programming is a field dominated by men?

Data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that 73% of US computer science workers are male coders. Across technology generally, women are underrepresented.

But, recent research suggests that women are considered better coders – but only if they hide their gender. Here are five female coders who have made significant contributions to the field – and indeed helped change the world.
