A new plaque in the Lancaster Science Factory's Hall of Heroes honoring Carol Shaw was dedicated on Dec. 14 by members of the Lancaster Science Factory's Girls Code Club. Shaw was a computer programmer who is known as the first female video game designer. She is known for creating the Atari 2600 game "River Raid." The Girls Code Club students chose Shaw because they also enjoy programming video games.

The Girls Code Club is open to girls ages 8 to 13 and seeks to encourage an interest in coding. Since its inception seven years ago, more than 275 girls have participated in the club. To learn more, visit http://www.lancastersciencefactory.org.
