Today--October 7--is apparently Ada Lovelace Day, and you are asked to "This Ada Lovelace Day on October 7, share your story about a woman — whether an engineer, a scientist, a technologist or mathematician — who has inspired you to become who you are today. Write a blog post, record a podcast, film a video, draw a comic, or pick any other way to talk about the women who have been guiding lights in your life. Give your heroine the credit she deserves!"<br /><br />It goes on to say, "Ada Lovelace Day aims to raise the profile of women in science, technology, engineering and maths by encouraging people around the world to talk about the women whose work they admire. This international day of celebration helps people learn about the achievements of women in STEM, inspiring others and creating new role models for young and old alike.<br /><br />The inspiration for Ada Lovelace Day came from psychologist Penelope Lockwood, who carried out a study which found that women need to see female role models more than men need to see male role models."<br /><br />And that's exactly what my sister said!<br /><br />And I didn't even realize that today was Ada Lovelace Day when I wrote the post!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10531344380743742801noreply@blogger.com
