Ada Lovelace Day (ALD) is an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). It aims to increase the profile of women in STEM and, in doing so, create new role models who will encourage more girls into STEM careers and support women already working in STEM. It is celebrated on the second Tuesday in October. It is not on Ada's birthday which is 10th December.
This is an all encompassing topic and any female scientist, mathematician, engineer or architect or budding female STEM star could be the focus of your display or reading for this day.
Ada Lovelace is a popular choice for students who enjoy biographies and there are several in the library.
And then there are short novels and picture books about characters named Ada as a result of Ada Lovelace.
