Ada Lovelace Day

What if one of the earliest computer programs was written nearly 200 years ago, before modern computers even existed? Meet Ada Lovelace, a 19th-century mathematician who recognized the potential of Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine and wrote what is widely considered the first computer program. Today, Ada Lovelace Day celebrates her legacy and the contributions of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). It's a chance to discover the women behind groundbreaking innovations and inspire the next generation of girls to explore STEM and change the future.

Your turn: Find a woman in STEM whose work inspires you and share her story to make her contributions known. The future of STEM is being built every day, and it's time we celebrate the women building it!
