I've been doing the CS 101 course from Udacity with my 7 year old son,
where I just recently learned about Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper.
Grace Hopper was even on Letterman:

I think it would also be great to acknowledge our code fore-mother, Henriette Avram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henriette_Avram) Unfortunately, a quick Google didn't spot any photos of her with a mainframe.
