Ada Lovelace Day is an
international celebration on the second Tuesday of October that honours
the achievements of women in STEM. In 2025, it is being celebrated on 14th
October. Named after Ada Lovelace, a mathematician often considered the first
computer programmer for her work on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, the
day aims to increase the profile of women in science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics fields. The event was founded in 2009 to create role
models and encourage more girls and women to pursue STEM careers.
