Ada Lovelace Day!

Today is the day that we celebrate the amazing women in STEM. Named after the first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace, who wrote the first theoretical program in 1843! In a future year when we get to have in-person events again, we hope to do something at the library. Fortunately, #ALD2020 is going digital! (And really, what better way to celebrate.) There are going to be some amazing (AND FREE) webinars through https://findingada.com/ so go check those out!

Ada Lovelace Day Online 2020 Ada Lovelace Day on social media

Ada Lovelace Day, Tuesday 13 October, is going back to its roots with a day of blogging, Twittering and Facebooking, just like we did in 2009.

#ALD20 will celebrate women, advocates and educators in STEM. We’ll be profiling women working in STEM around the world and those women who work so hard campaigning for gender equality in industry, academia and the community.

We want you to join in by highlighting our hidden advocates, the teachers, lecturers and professors, the researchers and technicians, the women you work with, who go above and beyond to encourage and support girls and women in STEM. Who are the unsung heroines whose work is changing the future face of STEM?

You can write a blog post, record a podcast, or take part on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or any other social media platform – the choice is yours. And just like back in 2009, we’ll create a database so that you can give us your links for posterity.

We’re running five webinars on Ada Lovelace Day and we hope you’ll join us to hear from some amazing women in STEM. Tickets are free, so sign up via Eventbrite to stay up-to-date with our speakers, get reminders and the link to view the events.
