Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent.’ – Ada Lovelace, 'Notes upon L. F. Menabrea's Sketch of the Analytical Engine Invented by Charles Babbage'> As she once imagined they would be, Ada Lovelace's numerical algorithms have now been transformed into music. In the second…

An event celebrating the contributions of women to the development of computers, gaming and our modern world of accessible technology (from Ada Lovelace through to the 20th Century).

Join us on the campus of Francis Marion University to celebrate the contributions of women in STEM!  #FMU

Ada Lovelace Day is an international celebration day for the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). It aims to increase the profile of women in these areas, and, in doing so, create new role models who will encourage more girls into STEM careers and support women already working in STEM. Every year, people around the world organize their own events for Ada Lovelace Day. The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences is excited to join…

In 2014, people across the world saw a lead scientist from the European Space Agency appear on international television to talk about the Philae lander mission wearing a garment covered in scantily-clad women. It became known as “that shirt.” Elly responded by designing “that other shirt,” which features over 50 notable women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics). Her successful Kickstarter campaign led to the formation of a non-profit, SMLX Good, which supports STEM programmes for girls and has…

KAIST School of Computing presents the 3rd edition of its ALD event. This year, we invite Prof. Hyomin Kim to give a talk titled "Why am I not a geek?". The talk will look into how geek culture interacts with gender and other social status for CS students in Korean universities. The talk will be in Korean.

Ada Lovelace is widely celebrated as "the first programmer”, the “enchantress of numbers” whose unique “poetical science” enabled her to make startling predictions about modern computing in a famous 1843 paper about Charles Babbage’s proposed analytical engine. In this talk, Professor Ursula Martin (CBE FRSE, University of Oxford) will separate fact from myth, talk about what the famous paper actually says, and look at Lovelace as a member of a dynamic community of nineteenth century British scientists. In particular, she will…

Our 3rd Science Communication Workshop will cover how to create Open Access content in Wikipedia. You will learn to be a beginner Wikipedian (like me). Women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) are under-represented in Wikipedia. International Ada Lovelace Day aims to raise the profile of notable, but overlooked, women in STEM. The Wikipedian edit-a-thon is a popular event in which people edit or create Wikipedia pages, like this one, I made for Canadian Professor Kathy Martin.

Her Story is an interactive exhibition celebrating women who live, breathe and work computing and tech. The focus is on celebrating women who work or have worked in technology through the stories that they can tell. The festival will include an interactive exhibition (included in standard museum admission price) as well as a series of events for the public, for schools and for teachers (various prices - see website for details).

McLaren High School have arranged this Ada Lovelace Day themed careers talk, inviting local business leaders into the classroom to celebrate the achievements of women in STEM and inspire the next generation.

We had a group come into our school who performed a spellbinding interactive show about the computing pioneer, entitled ADA. ADA. ADA. We watched as the team put together the most spectacular dress we have ever seen. They spoke about the technology it used to light up and twinkle in lots of variations! We’ve been studying all about Ada in Year 4 and have written detailed biographies about her life. What better way to finish off our unit of work…

Come celebrate the accomplishments of women in STEM in honor of Ada Lovelace Day.

La vida de Ada Lovelace, written by Silvia Amélia Bim, a Computer Science lecture, illustrated by Kiara Cabral and translated by Sarah P.P. Garcia is a children's book originally written in Portuguese. It was translated to Spanish with the aim to celebrate the X LAWCC - Latin American Women in Computing Congress (http://cleilaclo2018.mackenzie.br/en/clei-2018/events/lawcc.html).

As part of Brighton Digital Festival and in honour of Ada Lovelace Day (9th October), Sussex Innovation Centre is hosting its first hackathon! The inaugural SINC_HACK is based around the theme of >17%. Women make up just 17% of employees the UK tech sector, and only 17% of start-ups have female founders. The problem has many contributing factors, from the stigma around girls going into STEM subjects, to the gender pay gap, unconscious bias in the workplace and under-representation of…

Join our communal update on 8 Oct from 5-9pm to improve the coverage of women and diversity in science on Wikipedia! Wikipedia is the first to admit that they have some big gender and diversity gaps. In 2011 only 10% of wiki contributors were female and in 2018 only 17% of entries are about women. Let’s help change that! We’re looking for both experienced editors plus those with no past experience (but a lot of enthusiasm for writing and/or fact-checking!). Anyone…
