Ada Lovelace and International Day of Women and Girls in Science
Tomorrow is International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
Why is this important? Not enough women study and work in science. That leads to stereotypes leading to men not taking women seriously and women not believing the career paths are for them.
That won’t change without role models.
When I took my boys to the Science Museum last year, I was able to buy this print of Ada Lovelace beside the Analytical Engine. She was a mathematician and is often known as the first computer programmer.
This will be going on the wall in my new office. Hopefully my boys see it and receive a positive stereotype.
Thank you Hena Husain of The Content Architects for the date reminder.
