LO: A focus on women and non-binary practitioners in computational art

For this week’s blog post, I chose to analyze Ayah Bdeir’s work. Ayah Bdeir is the creator of LittleBits, a software that consist of small circuit boards with specific functions that the user can interact with and learn about these elements without any programming experience.

I really admire Bdier because her work has centered around empowering everyone to be an inventor, she’d had a particular focus on empowering underrepresented communities with the tools to become tomorrow’s change makers. Bdier is a graduate of MIT and has raised over $70 million for LittleBits from prominent investors in Silicon Valley and New York. Today, more than 20 million LittleBits are in the hands of kids around the world and are being used to learn about fundamental elements of technology.
