I want to call out Alexis Dixon, the 4th grade teacher from Brooklyn who chose to teach CS in her classroom with @codeorg. She represents 1 MILLION teachers, mostly women, who lead the movement for CS in schools. You, ALL of you, are the STARS of this showhttps://twitter.com/60Minutes/status/1102370248286715906 …

And a list like this wouldn't be fair without mentioning the women who RUN
@codeorg, especially@AliceSteinglass, our President, who deserves far more attention than she receives for her incredible work. It's a joy to work in an office whose staff and leadership are mostly women.Show this thread -
On a personal note, my mother, Farideh, an Iranian computer scientist who showed me my first mainframe computer when I was 5, has been behind me and my twin + co-founder
@apartovi at every step. Farideh is so very proud of her twins today. Happy#WomensHistoryMonth to all.Show this thread
