Browse the articles and pick one of the women (or groups)
to research. In order to get all the information you need for your
poster, you may have to find additional sources.
If you like, you may chose someone not on this list as long as that person made a contribution to technology and is not a white male. I will award extra credit if your chosen person is not on this list.
This is a 100 point assignment. Extra credit if you
include an interesting quote in your poster.
Please refer to and fill out the rubric for this project.
