The Word Premiere of Ada and the Memory Machine Written by Lauren Gunderson Directed by Gary Graves Oct 17–Nov 22 Estranged daughter of the flamboyant and notorious leader of the Romantic Movement, Lord Byron, young Ada Byron only knows her father through his poetry—nothing more than a haunting memory from the past. But Ada sees the future in the “analytic engines” of her friend and soul-mate, Charles Babbage, inventor of the first mechanical computer. A gifted mathematician in her own…

Calling all "thinkerers"! Let’s explore tinkering + design thinking (“thinkering”).  Think with your hands and heart using a littleBits cloudBit™ and transform ideas from a seed to a functioning electronic prototype.  Learn about how the Internet of Things (IoT) works and where it may be going.

Ada Lovelace was a mathematician who is often referred to as 'the first computer programmer'. She helped shape technology in the 19th century and is regarded as one of the figureheads in the history of computer. Join Ladies Who Code Manchester for an extra special Ada Lovelace celebration on October 20th. We're bringing together women from across Manchester and the North West to share stories and celebrate our successes with a series of lightning talks followed by networking.

Try a historical and scientific hands on activity with the docents at the Historical Society.

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). These were women who forged careers and used their talents in a mainly male-dominated world and were often unrecognised and unheralded by history.  Their achievements are celebrated in a one-day display at The Micro Museum.

'Indeed we may consider the engine as the material and mechanical representative of analysis.’' – Ada Lovelace, 'Notes upon L. F. Menabrea's Sketch of the Analytical Engine Invented by Charles Babbage On the surface Ada Lovelace's parents had contrasting interests. Lord Byron was poetical and dramatic, while Lady Byron was scientific and rational. But are the arts and the sciences really so different? Hosted by AXNS, a collective of artists and scientists, our final Evening Exchange brings scientists and designers…

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. In 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…
