The Gender Changer Academy
a non-profit organisation by women for women, its primary goal being to improve women's understanding and skills with regards to computer hardware. To attain this, the GCA provides workshops, makes and maintains a website and mailing list, and distributes a reader. The GCA was borne out of the ASCII (Amsterdam Subversive Code for Information Interchange), a free internet workspace. Momentarily the GCA is run by a small group of volunteer women. It was founded in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, March 2000 by Tali, brbr and Sara with Sisi. Donna, Maya, Sol and Jane joined later. We encourage women to crash computers and to put it all back together again. Preferably with an improved installation.
