RED Talk: Celebrating Ada Lovelace Day

The RED Talk Fall 2017 is hosted in partnership with the University Libraries, Information Technology Services, and Undergraduate Research to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day. From https://findingada.com/: “Ada Lovelace Day (ALD) is an international celebration day of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). It aims to increase the profile of women in STEM and, in doing so, create new role models who will encourage more girls into STEM careers and support women already working in STEM.”

Our Ada Lovelace Day RED Talk will feature undergraduate researchers engaged in projects in STEM across campus. Presenters share their research projects and experiences in short 5-7 minute presentations. Interactive, multimedia, outside-the-box activities are encouraged as we learn about the scholarship and creative activity taking place at Nebraska. Student participants will gain experience giving presentations and explaining their work, and RED Talk attendees will complete feedback forms for the presenters. Following the talks, we’ll have refreshments and continued conversations and networking.
