Winchester Skeptics - "Finding Ada"
Thursday 24 Apr 2014
19:10 to 21:00 
Winchester Discovery Centre, Jewery Street, Winchester
United Kingdom  

Join me at tonight's talk @ 7.30pm by the Winchester Skeptics at Winchester Discovery Centre. We will be meeting in the front coffee bar area around 7.10pm ... let me know if you need a lift.

Tonight's talk by the Winchester Skeptics is led by Suw Charman-Anderson founder of Ada Lovelace Day on the subject of "Finding Ada". Meet in the front cafe bar area from 7.00pm ... the talks for Winchester Skeptics start at 7.30pm in the main lecture theatre.
In 2009, Suw Charman-Anderson founded Ada Lovelace Day, an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths. With grassroots events held around the world and thousands of people writing and talking about the women who have inspired them, the day seeks to raise women’s profiles and highlight unsung heroines.

Suw will talk about why there’s a need for such a day, and also about Ada Lovelace herself. Lauded as the first ever computer programmer, Ada was a gifted mathematician, yet today she faces challenges from many voices as to the veracity of her contributions to computer science. So who was Ada? And what do we know about her work on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine?

Suw is a social technologist and, as one of the UK’s social media pioneers, has worked with clients worldwide. A freelance journalist, she has written about social media and technology for The Guardian, CIO Magazine and others. She currently blogs about publishing and crowdfunding for Forbes.com.

Learn more about Ada Lovelace Day, 14 October 2014, at www.findingada.com. Suw’s blog is www.chocolateandvodka.com and you can follow her on Twitter as @suw

There is a charge of £3.00 on the door to help cover the costs of running the Winchester Skeptics talks.
