Adafest: Celebrate Computer Pioneer Ada Lovelace with A Day of Fun and Learning
13 December 2015 @ 10:00 am - 7:00 pm
$15.00
Visit the Computer History Museum on Sunday, December 13 to celebrate the 200th birthday of Ada Lovelace. Lovelace was an English mathematician and remarkable thinker. Unlike most people of her era, she understood that computers could do much more than calculate numbers, and she predicted many of the ways in which we use technology today.
In connection with CHM’s newest exhibit Thinking Big: Ada, Countess of Lovelace (December 12, 2015–December 11, 2016), Adafest is part of the Museum’s year-long Lovelace celebration and furthers our ongoing initiative to highlight and honor women in technology.
Join us and meet local artisans, uncover the sights and styles of Victorian England, and explore Ada’s life through storytelling, live demonstrations, and tours! Museum members can enjoy a special morning reception and shop the store’s Semi-Annual Sale, with 25 percent off everything—just in time for the holidays! Please visit our website for detailed activities and schedule.
