About this event
Interested in working with technology? Join us for informative sessions exploring this expanding industry, inspired by the ‘mother of computing’, Ada Lovelace.
Lovelace was a mathematician who developed the idea of programming – the concept that a computer can follow a set of simple instructions which, when put together, performs complex calculations. She even designed a computer, the Analytical Engine, that was never built but was considered the prototype for early programmes.
