Ada Lovelace is considered by many to be the “first computer programmer.” Ada Lovelace Day (ALD) is an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). In July Oregon Senator Ron Wyden introduced a bill to declare October 9th National Ada Lovelace Day in the U.S.
