Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) was a mathematician and writer. She is best known for her work on Charles Babbage?s ?Analytical Engine?, recognising that it had applications beyond pure calculation and seeing the full potential of a ?computing machine?. She is regarded as being the first computer programmer and her achievements are recognised every year with a celebration of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) on International Ada Lovelace Day.
Ada Lovelace also has a connection to Porlock, having spent much time at Ashley Combe, Porlock Weir, now sadly gone. Porlock celebrates the day, and the local connection, by inviting women from all walks of life to share their inspiring stories and achievements. This year?s speakers include Meryl Harrison, Jackie Shave renown violinist ( photo ), Dr Annela Seddon from Bristol University, and Serrie -Justine Chapman, co founder of the Women's Technical Hub in Bristol.
Numbers will be limited by the social distancing guidelines in place by the government. Please buy tickets early
