A Staff and Student Celebration for Ada Lovelace Day 2023
11 October 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
All Heriot-Watt staff and students are welcome to join this celebration of Ada Lovelace Day 2023. The event is located in the Multiflex room within The National Robotarium. It starts at 1pm with a buffet lunch, during which, a new “STEM Inclusivity Network” will be promoted.
The lunch will be followed by a Team-based Quiz that will start at 2pm. The Quiz will draw upon the life and times of Ada Lovelace, but will include rounds that focus on popular culture and robotics gender through to programming languages and the influence of women across the history of computing. There will also be a round involving a mystery autonomous competitor.
If you sign-up for the Quiz, you will be allocated to a Team. The membership of the Teams will be announced on the day – each Team will have a diverse membership! Finally, like all good Quizzes, there will be prizes. The event is scheduled to end at 3pm. This is a School of MACS sponsored Athena SWAN Event.
