Ivan Sutherhand, Born in May 16, 1938, Is a electrical engineer who won numerous awards such as the 1988 A.M turning award, the highest honor for computer science awards. He created the famous sketchpad for digital design. For this he is known as the Father of computer graphics. He obtained a bachelor's degree from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, and a master's degree from the California institute of technology, and obtained a doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is most known for his "sketchpad" that created a graphical user interface, and allowed for computer-aided designs. This allowed people to create shapes and images on a computer for the first time. He was also used in the military as an electrical engineer for defensive research, and is now currently working on AI.

Margaret Hamilton was a computer engineer who was born in August 17, 1936, graduated from Earlham college. She was the lady who coded most of the software that would be used in the Apollo missions in the early 60's and late 70's. She helped create software to help guide the rocket, as well as helping to create software that detects malfunctions, which has made coding and finding errors in today's world much easier. But her first step in coding software was when she was tasked in a group called S.A.G.E, to create air defense security. But she started out working on meteorology science with computers to predict the weather.
Born on July 9th, 1922 in Worcestershire, England, Kathleen gained her education in a bachelor's degree in Math from the University of Lodnon, as well as earning her PHD in applied mathematics in Birbeck college. She was the first person to write the assembly language and designed auto codes for the first OS at her college. She also helped design multiple machines in her time that were revolutionary. She also created crystallography analysis that helped with the studies of the DNA structure. She was also a co-designer of the first 3 operational computers in the entire world. Her final achievement was that she wrote 2 of the earliest books on cumputer design and programming.She passed away at the age of 100
