Knowing that a 19th Century English aristocratic young lady (when most women did not pursue a career and let alone one in STEM) was the first person to write computer algorithms and programs, is reason enough to motivate you women of today to believe that they can be computer scientisits.

A quote from our Dean in Computing, Engineering and Media

The importance of our Faculty celebrating Ada Lovelace Day conveys the desire to celebrate our outstanding female colleagues in STEM subjects. Helping to make them more visible for their outstanding contributions to science and to inspire a whole new generation of girls to strive and achieve, furthering our collective knowledge.

Within the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Media we are going to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day. We are looking to showcase some of our colleagues and students;

who they are and why they pursued a career or studies in a STEM Subject
the women in STEM who have inspired them
the barriers that they have faced and how they have overcome them

“I never am really satisfied that I understand anything; because, understand it well as I may, my comprehension can only be an infinitesimal fraction of all I want to understand about the many connections and relations which occur to me, how the matter in question was first thought of or arrived at…”
Ada Lovelace
