Ada Lovelace Day Highlights

Posted on October 13, 2016 by admin

This week we celebrated Ada Lovelace Day at the University of Edinburgh with a fabulously eclectic and fun range of activities and a Wikipedia Editathon to enhance to coverage of women in STEM. Here’s a few few highlights from the day 🙂

I got to meet the real live Lego Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage <3 Thank you Stewart Cromar for brining them along.

We made musical fruit with BBC micro:bits.  Okay “musical” might be a bit of a stretch but we did get the banana to make noises.

We played played Metadata Games, which I won!  Anne Marie Scott beat me last year but I was determined to win this year.  Looks like metadata is the only thing I get really competitive about :} Here I am with my prize – Ada’s emo teenage boyfriend.

And most importantly, we created 4 new Wikimedia articles, translated 5 into Portuguese, and improved 9 more articles all about women in STEM.  You can read more about the days outputs of the day Ada Lovelace Day Wikipedia Outputs.
