The ETSE-UV joins the Ada Lovelace Day international celebration with activities in order to make women visible in STEM areas.
Ada Lovelace Day (ADL) is an international event celebrated annually whose objective is to highlight women’s achievements in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
Ada Lovelace was born in 1815 and she is considering the first computer programmer. She was a mathematician known for his work on the machine mechanical calculator, publishing which is now recognized as the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine in 1843.
From 2009 the research centres and universities that dedicate a day on the second Tuesday of October to this celebration are numerous. The Ada Lovelace Day activities are registered on the official website, where you can follow up, and participate in the initiative to make women STEM visible:
