Women in Tech Event

About this event

Interested in working with technology? Join us for informative sessions exploring this expanding industry, inspired by the ‘mother of computing’, Ada Lovelace.

Lovelace was a mathematician who developed the idea of programming – the concept that a computer can follow a set of simple instructions which, when put together, performs complex calculations. She even designed a computer, the Analytical Engine, that was never built but was considered the prototype for early programmes.
