A.L.I Presents Ada Lovelace Day Dublin
13 October 2015 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
On the evening of the 13th of October 2015, the community of The Ada Lovelace Initiative will gather in Dublin City to mark the special occasion of Ada Lovelace Day. Guests will have the opportunity to hear from two special speakers from STEM sector in Ireland, who will be telling their own stories in the spirit of Ada Lovelace Day & celebrating the achievements of women in STEM.
In Ireland only 25% of the STEM sector consists of female employees. The Ada Lovelace Initiative was set up to address one of the reasons so few females choose a career in technology compared to their male counterparts; a lack of access or opportunity for some students to speak to female role models working in the STEM sector.To help change this imbalance, The Ada Lovelace Initiative is working with the technology community in Ireland to connect female professionals working in technology with Transition Year secondary school students for one hour once a year each.
