Forbes has called Wojcicki the most powerful woman in advertising,<br />and among the 20 most powerful women in the world. Although not a CS major, she took intro<br />CS classes in college. Google's first office was in her
garage. <br /><br /><a href="http://Code.org">Code.org</a> founder Hadi Partovi says that he decided to release this new poster because it's<br />critical to show female role models to girls to bring them to CS. Showing just images of<br />men isn't enough. "Our original posters (Mark Zuckerberg, Chris Bosh) lacked a female,<br />despite our best efforts (we asked all the best known women in tech who surprisingly<br />rejected the opportunity)," says Partovi. "Susan is a fantastic spokesperson for computer<br />science education, because she shows that even if you don't major in CS, even if you don't<br />become a software engineer for life, exposure to the field is important in a world that's<br />increasingly dependent on technology."<br /><br />You can request a copy of this new poster for your classroom at:<br /><br /><a
