SUMMARY:ALD 2018 at The University of Edinburgh
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday 9th October 2018\, the University’s Information Services team are running an edit-a-thon to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day 2018 which is an international celebration day of the achievements of women in science\, technology\, engineering and maths (STEM). \nThis year the event will have a particular focus on Contemporary Women in STEM and #ALD2018 is to be hosted at King’s Buildings with a evening networking event in the social space at the Joseph Black building (wine and nibbles supplied by the Royal Society of Chemistry). \nTalks\, activities and networking\nThere will be a range of guest speakers in the morning followed by fun STEM activities in the afternoon. Full Wikipedia editing training will be given at 2-3pm. Thereafter the afternoon’s edit-a-thon will focus on improving the quality of Wikipedia articles related to Contemporary Women in STEM! This year we will also be hosting a Women in STEM data hackathon. \nFollowing on from last year’s panel discussion\, to close the day there will be a more informal discussion and networking event. Five guest speakers from a variety of career stages have been invited to say a few words to promote discussion including Dr. Jenni Garden\, Christina Miller Research Fellow at the School of Chemistry and Professor Lesley Yellowlees. \nBook your place now\nAll four bookable sessions (short talks & activities\, HPC Carpentry\, Wikipedia editing/hackathon and evening discussion/networking) will be free and open to all. \nYou can book to attend one\, two\, three or all four sessions. \n\nProgramme\n1. 11am-2:30pm: Short talks & STEM activities\n1a. 11am-12:00pm: Short talks\nChaired by Anne-Marie Scott (Information Services). \nVenue: Murchison House (Room G.07) \nInvited speakers:\n\nHousekeeping and Welcome – Melissa Highton\, Director or Learning\, Teaching & Web\nWomen in High Performance Computing (HPC) – Athina Frantzana\nIntroduction to the Gender and Equality Images Internship – Francesca Vavotici\nWomen in STEM Society- Charlie Simms and Yvonne Anderson\nWellcomm Kings – Rosie and Izzy\nKnitted designs of Ada Lovelace and Mary Somerville – Madeleine Shepherd\nUoE Physics Society – Olivia Jackson\n\nThe morning session will close with elevator pitches for the drop-in activities in the afternoon. \n1b. 12pm-2:30pm: STEM activities\nChaired by Stewart Cromar and James Slack (Information Services). \nVenue(s): Murchison House (Room G.07) \n1c. 12pm-2:30pm: DIY Film School\nVenue: Murchison House (Room G.07) \n\nLiam Duffy and Stephen Donnelly (Information Services)\nIntroductory talk on DIY Film School and then practising & recording of the below activities\n\n1d. 12pm-2:30pm: STEM stories\nVenue: Murchison House (Room G.07) \n\nEdinburgh University Women in STEM Society Committee members: Yvonne Anderson\, Charlie Simms\, Sarah Aitkin\, Lyndsey Scott\, Serene Messai\nAim: To allow students to share and discuss their experiences at university\, particularly women in STEM.\nAll participants are given postcards on which they can write a good or bad experience they have had during university to do with equality and diversity.We will have a whiteboard split into good and bad and will get people to put their postcard on the side that applies to them.\nOutcome: Bringing up subjects such as unconscious bias and making people aware that sexism is a current problem within stem subjects. Focusing on positive stories but also ways of addressing the negative ones.\n\n1e. 12pm-2:30pm: Cake decorating\nVenue: Murchison House (Room G.07) \n\nEdinburgh University Women in STEM Society Committee: Yvonne Anderson\, Charlie Simms\, Sarah Aitkin\, Lyndsey Scott\, Serene Messai\nAudience given cupcake and bio about a famous women in STEM and decorate their cake to represent her. The aim is simply to educate people on the important female figures within STEM.\n\nBook here to attend the short talks and activities (via MyEd). \nBook here to attend the short talks and activities (via Eventbrite). \n\n2. 12:30pm-5:30pm: HPC Carpentry\nHPC Carpentry: a hands-on introduction to Supercomputing\nVenue: JCMB (Room 3211) \n\nDavid Henty\, Weronika Filinger\, Clair Barrass\nN.B. Needs to be pre-registered\nEdinburgh University hosts the UK national supercomputer\, ARCHER\, and many other machines available to Edinburgh researchers. This hands-on session will explain what High Performance Computing (HPC )is\, what a supercomputer is\, how to use it and what you can get out of it. We have run similar workshops previously under the “Women in HPC” initiative in UK and abroad and are keen to repeat the workshop for a local audience.\n\nBook here to attend the HPC Carpentry session (via ARCHER website). \n\n3. 2:30pm-5:30pm: Wikipedia editing/hackathon\n3a. Contemporary Women in STEM editathon\nChaired by Ewan McAndrew and Stephanie ‘Charlie’ Farley. \nVenue: Murchison House (Room G.07) \n\nCreate pages on contemporary Women in STEM figures crowdsourced from suggestions from circulating this Googleform.\nWikipedia training from 2pm-2.45pm\nCreating new pages from 2.45pm-5pm.\nPublishing new pages 5pm-5.30pm.\nPotentially personal/research websites as sources of information\nSources for open-access images? Approach repositories\nIdentify if there are books we need to buy into library ahead of time. e.g. Last year Chemistry was their lives proved very helpful\nUse review articles for sources of bio information.\nShort activities can have big results e.g. training to add an image\, an info box (5-10 mins)\, citation (5-10) or data (5-10 mins)\n\n3b. 2:30pm-5:30pm: Women in STEM data hackathon\nVenue: Murchison House (Room G.07) \n\nData on Women in STEM can be provided in an editable table – participants fill in blank columns with missing verifiable information.\n\nE.g. Place of study\, field of work\, notable achievements…\n\n\nAt the end of the Wikipedia and Wikidata workshops we will tweet out the newly created pages and new data visualisations (maps\, timelines etc.)\n\nBook here to attend the Wikipedia editing/hackathon (via MyEd). \nBook here to attend the Wikipedia editing/hackathon (via Eventbrite). \n\n4. 5:45pm-7.30pm: Evening discussion & networking event\nChaired by Dr. Michael Seery\, Director of Teaching at the School of Chemistry. \nVenue: Social area at the School of Chemistry in Joseph Black building. \n\nFollowing on from last year’s panel discussion\, this will be a more informal discussion and networking event.
