SUMMARY:Adafest: Celebrate Computer Pioneer Ada Lovelace with A Day of Fun and Learning
DESCRIPTION: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. \nIn 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. \nJoin 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.

SUMMARY:Thinking Big: Ada\, Countess of Lovelace
DESCRIPTION:The newest exhibit at the Computer History Museum\, Thinking Big: Ada\, Countess of Lovelace\, celebrates the 200th birthday of English mathematician and visionary Ada Lovelace (1815–1852). Drawing on the Lovelace papers held at the University of Oxford’s Bodleian Libraries\, the Computer History Museum is the only other location in the world where you can discover these extraordinary papers. \nAda\, Countess of Lovelace\, was a remarkable person who was charming\, temperamental\, inquisitive\, and intelligent. Lovelace lived at a time when women couldn’t vote or attend university\, but as a member of the upper class\, her friends and teachers included some of the greatest thinkers of the time: Charles Babbage\, Augustus De Morgan\, Charles Dickens\, Michael Faraday\, and Mary Somerville. \nLovelace was the only legitimate daughter of the famous poet Lord Byron. Though her father abandoned her when she was only one month old\, she remained fascinated by him all her life. Her overbearing mother\, Annabella Milbanke\, steered her away from the arts and towards mathematics and science\, afraid Lovelace would develop what she perceived as her estranged husband’s “madness.” \nLovelace was a woman of fierce originality and intellectual interests. Her ideas went beyond those of pioneer Charles Babbage\, who saw computers only as number manipulators\, and focused on the creative possibilities and limitations of computers—the very issues we wrestle with today.\nThe Computer History Museum invites you to explore the world of Ada\, Countess of Lovelace\, through her own words and written in her own hand.\nThe exhibit will be on view December 12\, 2015-December 11\, 2016\, during regular Museum hours.
