SUMMARY:Ada Lovelace: Girl geek role model (lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Carron Shankland will give a lecture about Ada Lovelace. The lecture is intended primarily for members of the School of Computing Science and students. The talk is in room 423\, Sir Alwyn Williams Building. \nAbstract: Augusta Ada King\, Countess of Lovelace\, was born in 1815 and yet is widely recognised to be the world’s first computer programmer. Who was Ada Lovelace? How did a Victorian noblewoman get interested in computers? What computer was she programming and would we recognise this as programming? Lastly\, we’ll look at how she’s become the poster girl for women in computing. \nBio: Carron was one of the first holders of a Suffrage Science award in Computing\, and Scottish Woman of the Year for services to science and technology in 2017. Carron is an honorary senior research fellow at the University of Glasgow\, where she’s involved in diversity and inclusion initiatives. Mainly\, these days\, Carron is gardening\, making art and music\, having retired from being a professor of computing.
