It’s Ada Lovelace day tomorrow (Tuesday)!
For those new to Ada Lovelace Day, here’s the low-down:
Ada Lovelace Day (ALD) is an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). It aims to increase the profile of women in STEM and, in doing so, create new role models who will encourage more girls into STEM careers and support women already working in STEM.
There are dozens of (mostly online) events happening around the world, which you can find here:
