Ada Lovelace Day (ALD), an international recognition of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), is celebrated annually on the 2nd Tuesday in October.
This year we are celebrating virtually by inviting students, faculty and staff to visit the international Ada Lovelace site to check out the following series of webinars presented by some amazing women in STEM:
Monday, October 12 from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. Sustainable Energy & Water
Tuesday, October 13 from 5:00 to 6:00 a.m. Medicine’s Biggest Questions
Tuesday, October 13 from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. Ada Lovelace Day with JP Morgan’s Lori Beer
Tuesday, October 13 from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. The Near Future
Tuesday, October 13 from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Space, the Next Frontier
We invite interested students to participate in the webinars and to reflect on the contribution of women, and the space that women have occupied in the development of tech and science.

July 31, 2026Marking Lovelace Day matters because the standard story of computing gets told as if it started in the 1970s. Correcting that changes who thinks the field is for them. Small corrections compound. I make small corrections to my own habits too, setting a limit before opening https://banzaifr.org/. Good initiative.
