Which technology superstars can you find in this Matrix?  

Somewhere in there you might find a tiny sample of them; maybe you can add more? The Mosaically Matrix is open for Remix and you can Submit your favourite Heroes to be included. But right now, deep inside the mind of the machine are:


Elon Musk
Alan Turing
Demis Hassabis
Ada Lovelace
Steve Wozniak
Alison Hill
Erna Hoover
Grace Hopper
Heddy Lamarr
Laurent Albot
Marissa Mayer
Roberta Williams
Steve Jobs
Susan Kare
Yifan Zhang

Give yourself a time limit and, using the list above, find as many of the Heroes in the Matrix as you can!
