Grace Murray Hopper Award

Okay kiddo, let me tell you about the Grace Murray Hopper Award. Grace Hopper was a very smart lady who loved computers and was really good at making them do cool things. The award is named after her because she did a lot of amazing things in the field of computer science.

This award is given to people who also do really cool things with computers. They might make computer programs that help people do things better or faster, or they might discover something new about how computers work. These people are called computer scientists, and they are like detectives who solve mysteries about computers.

Receiving this award is like getting a big gold star for being really good at something. It's a way to show how important computer science is for our world and how smart and amazing the people who do it are.
