One debugging strategy that I used was to come up with a block that I would use if making the script, and see if that block was used in the bugged script. If not, that was usually the problem! I would help somebody else learn to debug by telling them that strategy, and telling them to pay attention to the order of the blocks.
Over the course of human history, many women have done amazing things that deserve to be admired and celebrated. However, because of the patriarchal society that many of these women came from, they did not get the recognition they deserve. As well, many young women struggle to find role models of the same gender because women are often pushed out of the spotlight, or not given the same opportunities to succeed. I hope this webpage can highlight important women that should be recognized, while also displaying women that are role models for all people who aspire to greatness.

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an author of romantic fiction during the early 19th century. Her books are now some of the most widely read stories in the English language. She was one of the first successful female authors, and helped pioneer the modern novel. She published six novels during her lifetime: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Northanger Abbey, Emma, and Mansfield Park. Her books contain strong female characters not seen in many other books of the time. Austen's dedication to her craft and her defiance of the social rules of the day are what make her an incredible role model. Because her books were published around 200 years ago, they are now in the public domain. You can read them all online. Click here to read her most famous novel, Pride and Prejudice. |
“I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.” -Jane Austen, Persuasion

Billie Jean King (1943) is a gender equality activist and former professional tennis player. She won 39 Grand Slam titles during her career. In 1973, when the number of female athletes was growing rapidly, King participated in the Battle of the Sexes match against tennis superstar Bobby Riggs. Riggs was extremely inhospitable to female athletes, believing that they had no place in sports. He challenged female tennis players to matches, hoping to prove his point. However, on September 20, 1973, in Housten, Texas, in a match broadcasted to 90 million people worldwide, Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs 3-0. This victory showed to the world that female athletes belong in the world of sports. King's skill, determination, and ability to work under pressure was proof that women could be athletes as well as men. She also advanced the athletic opportunities of women by founding the Women's Tennis Association, World TeamTennis, and the Women's Sports Foundation. Since the end of her tennis career, King has continued to work for sexual equality. She was the first prominent female athlete to publicly state she was a lesbian. In her later years, she has been a prominent spokesperson for female and gay rights. Billie Jean King's Influence
