Ada Lovelace.

Ada was born on the10th of December 1815 in London to Isabelle Milbanke Byron and Lord George Gordon Byron.Her mother, Isabelle, had mathematical training, this was very unusual

For a woman to be educated in this way .  Lord Byron called Isabelle his “princess of parallelograms”  Her mother didn't want Ada to be crazy or mad like her father and do poetry so she taught Ada maths and writing.Her mother forced her to lie down straight for extensive periods because she believed it would help her self control.

Adas full name was Augusta Ada Byron.In her youth she was interested in flying , maths and writing.At an early stage she showed a talent for language and numbers and was taught from William Frend,a social reformer,William King,the family doctor and Mary Somerville , a scottish astronomer and mathematician, Somerville was the first woman admitted into the Royal Astronomical Society.Ada learned advanced maths with University of London professor Augustus de Morgan.

At 17 Ada met a man called Charles Babbage who was the inventor of the computer.Both of them became friends.Ada was really interested in the new invention Charles made.Charles became Ada`s mentor.the first computer was called the difference engine.Ada was later asked to translate something using the difference engine, the article was by a man called Luigi Federico Menaberea for a swiss journal but ada added her own ideas and thoughts her notes ended being three times longer than the original article.Her work was published in 1843,in a english science journal.Ada only used her initials A.A.L for Augusta Ada Lovelacein the publication.

Ada married a man called William King Noel and her name changed to Augusta Ada King Noel.

They both shared an interest in horses.They had three children called Byron King Noel who prefered to be called Viscount Ockham,Anne Blunt and Ralph King Milbanke.Her and William hung out with Charles Dickens and Michael Faraday.William supported Ada with her academic things.

Ada health suffered, however,after a bout of cholera in 1837.She had lingering problems with asthma and her digestive system. Doctors gave her painkillers, such as laudanum and opium,

And her personality began to change.She reportedly experienced  mood swings and hallucinations.She sadly died on the 27th of November 1852 of uterine cancer.

Ada Lovelace's contributions to computer science were not discovered until the 1950.

Her notes were reintroduced by B.V Bowden who republished them in Faster than a thought: A symposium on digital computing machines in 1953.Since then Ada has had may posthumous honors for her work. In 1980 the U.S department of Defence named a newly developed  computer language “Ada” after Lovelace.

The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing ( GHC) is a series of conferences designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. It is the world's largest gathering of women in computing. The celebration, named after computer scientist Grace Hopper, is organized by the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology and the Association for Computing Machinery. The 2020 conference will be held virtually at the end of September 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In 1994, Anita Borg and Telle Whitney founded the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing. With the initial idea of creating a conference by and for women computer scientists, Borg and Whitney met over dinner, with a blank sheet of paper, having no idea how to start a conference, and started to plan out their vision. The first Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing was held in Washington, D.C., in June 1994, and brought together 500 technical women. More than a dozen conferences have been held from 1994 to the present; the second was held in 1997 and the conference has been held annually since 2006. The sold-out 2010 conference attracted 2,147 attendees from 29 countries. Beginning in 2011, the conference has been held in a convention center to accommodate its growing size.

The Grace Hopper Celebration consists of a combination of technical sessions and career sessions and includes a poster session, career fair, awards ceremony, and more. The conference features 650 presenters. Potential presenters submit proposals for panels, workshops, presentations, Birds of a Feather sessions, New Investigators papers, PhD Forum, and Poster Session, including ACM Student Research Competition.

The Grace Hopper Celebration features 20 tracks:

Academic

Artificial Intelligence

Career

Computer Systems Engineering

2010 featured tracks on Open Source and Human-Computer Interaction. The Technical Theme Track for 2011 focused on large scale computing.

The Grace Hopper Celebration features prominent women in technology as Keynote Speakers, Plenary Session Panelists, and Invited Technical Speakers. Speakers have included: Sheryl Sandberg, Shirley Jackson, Carol Bartz, Duy-Loan Le, Nonny de la Peña, Maria Klawe, Frances E. Allen, Mary Lou Jepsen, Barbara Liskov, Susan Landau, Jennifer Mankoff, Vivienne Ming, Susan L. Graham, Melinda Gates, and Fernanda Viegas. Speaker presentations are available to watch online after the conference.

The Grace Hopper Celebration features one of the largest technical poster sessions of any conference, with over 175 posters. Presenters can choose to have their posters considered for the ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) at the Grace Hopper Celebration, the largest SRC of any technical conference.

The Abie Awards honor women technologists and those who support women in tech. There are a total of eight Abie Awards: the Technical Leadership Abie Award, Student of Vision Abie Award, Emerging Technologist Abie Award, Educational Abie Award in Honor of A. Richard Newton, Social Impact Abie Award, Technology Entrepreneurship Abie Award, Emerging Leader Abie Award in Honor of Denice Denton, and Change Agent Abie Award. Each year, five Abie Awards are presented at Grace Hopper Celebration (the Technical Leadership Abie Award and Student of Vision Abie Award are awarded every year, while the remaining awards alternate each year). Past Abie Award winners include Ruzena Bajcsy, BlogHer, Elaine Weyuker and Unoma Ndili Okorafor.

The Computing Research Association 's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) sponsors a series of sessions at the Grace Hopper Celebration aimed at undergraduates, graduates, and early career researchers. Sessions cover topics such as applying to graduate school, publishing papers, networking, work-life balance, and more.

Hosted by the Computer Science Teachers Association and the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology, the K-12 Computing Teachers Workshop is a two-day event for K-12 teachers, covering challenges and ways to involve more girls in computer science. The workshop began in 2009, attracting more than 650 applications its first year.

Begun in 2007, the Technical Executive Forum convenes high-level technology executives to discuss challenges and share solutions for recruiting, retaining, and advancing technical women. In 2010, 65 executives attended the event, from companies including Microsoft, Google, and Symantec.

Senior Women's Summit

The Senior Women's Summit is a one-day event held at the Grace Hopper Celebration, that brings together senior-level women to discuss issues facing senior technical women and provide a learning and networking platform.

Grace Hopper Open Source Day was held for the first time in 2011. One-day registration is open to the public and included for all conference attendees. The event includes a codeathon, skill-building workshop, and exhibition space featuring open source projects.

Participating organizations have included Google Crisis Response, Mozilla, Sahana Software Foundation, The Women's Peer-to-Peer Network, Open Data Kit, Microsoft Disaster Response, OpenHatch, Wikimedia Foundation, E-Democracy, Systers, WordPress and OpenStack.

The Grace Hopper Celebration features a career fair with over 70 high-tech companies, government labs, and universities.

Students make up approximately half of the attendees at the Grace Hopper Celebration. The Anita Borg Institute offers scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students to attend the conference. The scholarship includes:

Individual registration for the three-day conference

Hotel accommodations

Meal card for use at the convention center during the conference

Airfare

Travel stipend

In 2010, 321 scholarships were awarded. In addition to the GHC Scholarship, Anita Borg Institute offers the ABI-Heinz College Partnership Program. This is designed for students who have successfully completed their bachelor's degree, have been named a GHC Scholar by AnitaB.org, and are interested in obtaining a master's degree from the Heinz College at Carnegie Mellon University. GHC Scholars who are accepted into master's programs at the Heinz college are eligible for tuition scholarships of a minimum of $6,000 per semester.

Childcare and nursing mothers' room

The Grace Hopper Celebration offers free childcare to all attendees, as well as an on-site nursing mothers' room.

The GHC conference has been criticized for a lack of diversity, particularly racial diversity, and financial inaccessibility due to the high cost of attendance. In 2019, the cost of registration, not including hotel, transportation, or other costs, was $450 for students, $600 for academics, and $1,150 for general registration.

In 2015, GHC faced criticism, including from engineer Erica Baker, when two white men and zero black women were featured as "headline" speakers. The organization responded by targeting more diversity in speakers and collecting race and ethnicity data at the following year's event.

GHC does not pay its speakers. In past years GHC required speakers to purchase their own conference ticket, but as of 2020, speakers receive complimentary registration. (In the case of two selected poster presenters, only one will receive complimentary registration.) Speakers are not paid and travel and hotel expenses are not covered. The "pay to speak" approach has been criticized by people including author and software engineer Gayle Laakmann McDowell.

As a young girl, Katherine loved to count. She counted everything. She would count the number of steps she took to the road. She counted the steps into church. She even counted the forks and plates when she washed the dishes.Katherine loved to learn. She loved learning math the most. Katherine went through school quickly. She started high school when she was just 10 years old!When she was 15, Katherine began college. She took classes to become a mathematician. That is someone who is an expert in math. She learned how to solve big problems by using math, especially geometry. Geometry is a kind of math that uses lines, shapes and angles. Katherine studied hard. She graduated from college when she was 18.
