Code.org has just released a new CSEdWeek poster featuring</span></font><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style><span dir="ltr"><font color="black" face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style>
Susan Wojcicki, a Senior Vice President at Google. Forbes has called Wojcicki the most powerful woman in advertising, and among the 20 most powerful women in the world. Although not a CS major, she took intro CS classes in college. Google's first office was
in her garage. <br>
<br>
Code.org founder Hadi Partovi says that he decided to release this new poster </span>
</font></span></font></span></span></font><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style><span dir="ltr"><font color="black" face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style><span dir="ltr"><font color="black" face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style>because
it's critical to show female role models to girls to bring them to CS. Showing just images of men isn't enough. "Our original posters (Mark Zuckerberg, Chris Bosh) lacked a female, despite our best efforts (we asked all the best known women in tech who surprisingly
rejected the opportunity)," says Partovi.</span></font></span></font></span> "Susan is a fantastic spokesperson for computer science education, because she shows that even if you don't major in CS, even if you don't become a software engineer for life, exposure
to the field is important in a world that's increasingly dependent on technology."</span></font></span></font></span><br>
