3 out of 4 computer science majors at the UW are male. But this is just a bug in the code that no one has solved yet.

the first time I wrote a program it felt like a poem

public static void main (String[ ] args) {
 "Marissa Mayer is known for being one of the first female engineers at Google and her incredible fashion sense."
“Well, there were only 2 other girls in the class but, the professor never forgot our names.”  
 
while ( female != male) {
            CSEBarbie Katie = new CSEBarbie();
            System.out.println (“Hello World”); Hello dream job, hello opportunity, 
hello main method and strings and loops, hello sexism.

 1 in 4 CSE majors are women.** I want to be a CSE Major. Because I don’t follow patterns, I make them. 
        System.out.println (“Anything you can do I can do better”);
}
        Women are just as good at science and math as men. Women are just as good at science and math as men.
 But computer science isn’t even a science it’s just an art where you get health insurance. 
The first time I wrote a program it felt like a poem. It was like cleaning my room and finding everything I never knew I lost. 
When I code I am in control. It’s like dieting, except instead of counting calories, I’m counting lines of code. 
Instead of being an object, I make them. I write the rules, then break them. 
I decide what is true and false. It's predictable like a favorite book whose words never change, 
but are new every time. JGrasp is the closest I've ever come to Hogwarts. 
And everyone is welcome, Harry and Hermione, and non-white characters too. We can all make magic if we're taught to code. 
            So take one intro to programming class.
 Because I know you’ve practiced fitting beautiful complexity into a smaller package. 
I know you’re used to rules like
if (after dark) { throw new carryYourPepperSpray exception}
&&
public static boolean Success { return hasPromDate; }. 
The easiest way to give up power is thinking you have none.***

So don’t quit before you start.**** 
Just think, instead of googling your name you’ll be naming the new Google. 
Instead of Facebooking at school, you'll be schooling at Facebook. 
            CSEStudent you = new CSEStudent;
            System.out.println(“Hello world”);
}
