ENIAC Programmers Project
During her undergraduate she heard about the ENIAC women, she did exhaustive research and wrote about these women. She attended the ENIAC's 40th anniversary and met programmers personally. She felt the need to tell the untold story of the six women who programmed ENIAC, the first all-electronic, programmable computer, thus she founded EPP. She is working to make a full feature documentary about these women.[3]
