In honor of Ada Lovelace Day…
VCU Engineering’s women in computer science share their insights on day named for first computer programmer.
October 12 is Ada Lovelace Day, an international day celebrating the achievements of women in STEM. Lovelace has been called “the first computer programmer” for writing an algorithm for a computing machine in the mid-1800s. In honor of Ada Lovelace, we caught up with VCU Engineering’s female computer science faculty members to ask their advice for other women in computing.
