Can math and computer science be creative pursuits?
While many people associate creativity with artistic pursuits like painting, writing, and making music, God’s gift of human ingenuity extends to all corners of the human experience — as the Ladies find out when they interview Meghan Hopfer, a former math major currently working in the field of computer science and data management.
How does math intersect with creativity — or even art and beauty? Why do so many women dislike math and other STEM subjects? How can math, computer science, and creativity come together to seat 20,000 people at the LCMS Youth Gathering — and save a week of painstaking human labor? And how does someone working in the field view the rapid rise of AI?
Meghan Hopfer is a computer science professional currently serving with the LCMS Foundation. A graduate of Concordia University, Nebraska, she has also worked on staff for the LCMS Youth Gathering, where she was integral in automating key parts of the planning process.
