My favourite aspect of Ada story is her education. I'm fascinated by it cause it looks like an "intensive training", wich was necessary to become a progammer pioneer.
This education was decided by her mother, Annabella Lovelace, wich was "almost to the brink of fanaticism". So Ada has been largely teached in maths en sciences from her childhood. Later, she was teached by elitists like William king or Mary Summerville, who was trhe first to be accepted into the Royal Astronomical society. Maybe she has been a source of inspiration Ada, like an icon model.
This education was really unusual for a woman of high society, especially with a very religious mother. The decision of bring this education to his daughter was sureally motivated by the relation with Lord Byron, annabella didn't want Ada to be like him. An exemple of the difficulties bring by the social position of Ada in her education is the letter from Augustus de Morgan to Annabella. He said that it was not in the capacities of women to learn sciences and maths.
Finally this education created a fantastic mind of scientist.

Ada Lovelace is a 19th-century woman, she was born in London in 1815. She invented the first computer programmer. But first, she is the daughter of the famous poet Lord Bryon, so she was recognized because of her dad even if he left his family when Ada was 5 months. Ada received a rigorous education and was pushed into the male domination of mathematics and science by her mother Annabella. When she was young, Ada was isolated and didn’t spend a great time with her mother because she was very involved in her daughter's education, and she employed the smartest people to tutor Ada. Ada was a bright student, and she did some research about “flyology”. But she is usually sick, she has headaches. In 1829, she contracted measles a childhood affliction in the 80’ so she was disabled for 1 year. At 17 years old with a brilliant mind, she was presented at Court and became popular.

Ada Lovelace is the daughter of famous Romantic poet called Lord Byron. Therefore she lived in the hight society, during the 19th century. I’d like to focus on her early life. Ada was born in London in 1815, it was a period of industrial revolution. His father died at the age of 36 and her strictely religious mother Annabella Milbanke, almost to the brink of fanatism saw to it that Ada received a very rigorous education in mathematics and science. She is good at mathematics but it is an unusual study path for a girl, at that time. Her mother employed the smartest people to tutor Ada in her studies. Even if it was her mother’s wishes I think she is a brilliant women because she is very hardworking and above all she managed to prove that a woman has as much her place as a man in the field of science

Today I will talk about the article of Ada lovelace. In it Ada wrote of how the engine could be programmed with a code to calculate Bernoulli numbers. I chose to talk about this article because it's a very important article and because it represents the hard work of Ada Lovelace. Moreover, this article has allowed to know many more things about coding and it has revealed importants informations. Ada Lovelace proved with her hard work and the release of this article that even a woman could do great things in the IT world and that's why I decided to talk about it today.

# data[].attributes.body
What I find interesting about Ada Lovelace’s life is that even when people told her that she could not be good at mathematics and science because she was a woman, she kept studying and working to prove them wrong, which she did. Because she didn’t listen to them, she achieved an amazing work with the Babbage machine (which led to Alan Turing and his invention: The Bombe that was crucial during the WW2) and created her flying machine. And even if she didn’t have the choice of her studies (because her mom chose it for her), she still tried to be the best and to create something good from it. It shows that Ada Lovelace was determined, passionate and extremely smart. And by her work she showed to other girls after her that women are as capable and intelligent as men.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to talk about the incredible invention of Ada Lovelace, the flying machine. It started with her obsession with birds and flights when she was only 12 years old. She really thought about all the details of the conceptualization of this machine: its appearance, which would be that of a horse with a pair of wings, but also the materials with which the machine would be made, all the necessary equipment to allow it to fly as well as the energy source, the machine would have a steam engine inside. I find it really impressive that at her young age she imagined such an invention which is furthermore absolutely realistic.

# data[].attributes.body
The aspect of the story that  interested me is the fact that because she was determined to her hobbies (maths here) she managed to stick to her objective. Starting with an ill little girl we end up with a genius known and recognized for and technological advancements and for the fact that she is a women. This is was impresses me, people being so interested in something that they manage to pull out of any situation to achieve their goals, and even get knwon worldwide and through the ages for what you did. Truly and genuinely the best humans and capable of, just like Mary Curie and Katherine Johnson, both are women that lived above the stereotypes of their times.

# data[].attributes.body
What interested me in Ada lovelace’s life is the fact that she’s a particularly intelligent woman who had a childhood unlike any other and she proved to men that a woman is just as capable of doing science. First of all as a child she loved mathematics very much unlike any other girl of her age. This earned her the name of the “Princess of parallelograms. ”
So she received a good education in mathematics. Thanks to this knowledge, she was able to prove that women had as many skills as men.

# data[].attributes.body
The aspect I chose to talk about is her youth as a woman, which was not very traditional in the 19th century.

As a child, she loved mathematics, which was not a very common passion for a little girl at the time. Her father, George Gordon Byron, sometimes called her « the Princess of parallelograms ». Byron made sure that Ada’s tutors gave her a good education in mathematics, which was quite unusual at the time in the education of a noble girl. One of her tutors, Augustus De Morgan, thought that women were incapable of excelling in this discipline. But he acknowledged Ada's abilities yet in a letter to her mother, he wrote "The very great tension of mind which they require is beyond the strength of a woman's physical power of application". So, for him, women were incapable because they were not as strong as men. So, Ada decided she would prove that the theory was wrong.

I was particularly interested in this aspect of her life because she didn't have a traditional childhood as a girl and from a very young age she wanted to prove that women could do as much as men.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to talk about her early life because it was a decisive thing for her future and she didn't have a traditional childhood as a girl.
Ada Lovelace was born in London on 10 december 1815. She was an only child, and her family was a member of the high British society.
She was very good at science. She studied mathematics, her father, Lord Byron called her "Princess of Parallelograms".
Her teacher, De Morgan Augustus thought that women couldn't excel in maths. But he recognized the intellect of Ada.
Her mother employed the best scientists for her rigourous education like:
- Mary Somerville, a Scottish astronomer
-William King, a doctor
-William Frend.
She was passionate about birds and flying. So she imagined a scheme to make a thing in the form of a horse with a steam engine in the inside so as to move an immense pair of wings.

# data[].attributes.body
The part I decided to talk about is when Alan Turing discovered Ada’s work because it shows how important her contribution is in the creation of The Bombe that served during the 2nd World War against Hilter. So even 100 years later, her work was still relevant, useful and crucial in the inventions history. It’s a great step for women because at the time, even in the 20th century, they didn’t have a lot of possibilities to show their abilities.

# data[].attributes.body
Ada Lovelace is a smart woman who lived in high society during the 19th century. Her father, Lord Byron, was a poet and he took a big and important part in her life.
The part which interested me the most was when she proved to Augustus De Morgan that women were capable of excelling on science, because in 1833 she had a party with the "father of the computer" known as Babbage. When he explained what he was going to create, Ada  was the only person who  believed, trusted and thought that it was a "great beauty of invention". She was really young but she already understood progress.

Ada Lovelace's education - Agathe Reguerre

# data[].attributes.body
Ada Lovelace received a rigorous education by her mother. She was truly committed in her achievement and she employed a lot of famous intellectual minds like William King or Mary Somerville. In her childhood, Ada had never been allowed to choose what she was interested in, and what she wanted to study. Because of her hatred for her ex-partner, Lord Byron, Annabella forced her daughter to study what SHE wanted her to study, which were sciences and mathematics. Ada Lovelace continued to explore this field, by studying for more than a decade the Analytical Engine.

This subject interested me because she’s currently a great figure of the improvement of science, but she didn’t really choose her destiny. All this work that she had to achieve shows that it was really hard for a woman to be assertive in the sciences world, or even just in History. She’s still not that known and recognized, even though she revolutionised information technology.

# data[].attributes.body
Ada Lovelace is a woman who was born into high society in the 19th century and lost her father at the age of 8.
I chose the "Spark of Genius" moment.
I was interested in that part because we learn a little bit about the machine that Babbage created, what it does, what it allows. We learn a little bit more about history, particularly the history of the industry. I find that interesting because the industry is very important for our society, and with this video, we learn more about the beginnings of the industry.
It also allows us to understand that Ada was from her adolescence someone intelligent who was interested in many things.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose to talk about the nickname she was given when she was still young : "Princess of Parallelograms".
In fact one of her tutors and a brilliant mathematician acknowledged Ada's skills even though he had written in one of his letters that women were incapable of doing maths because they didn't have the strength of men.
However, Ada will show that she is capable of doing the same thing as men because throughout her life she will shine by her intellectual advance, and many people will acknowledge it even before she publishes an article (which completes the one made by Luigi Menabrea on the invention of Charles Babbage Esquir) in Scientific Memoirs.
This nickname is important because it shows that since her youngest age Ada has shone for her intelligence and I think the fact that she was recognized for her intellect then and even now is something strong and powerful.
Today women have more opportunities but at that time it was difficult for a woman to leave her traces, however her story seems to grow from that moment.

# data[].attributes.body
The aspect that I choose to talk about is the part when Ada Lovelace discovered the difference engine.
I choose this part because it's one of the first times when Ada encountered something that intrigated and impassionned her.
She discovered this machine when she was invited to a party hosted by Charles Babbage because she had beauty, intellect and a high rank in society.
She was 17 and she saw the revolutionary machine that was the difference engine, it could be used in a lot of sectors like navigation or engineering. It uses the method of infinite differences to solve mathematical problems and even the most educated people in the party didn't understand this. Ada saw the beauty of it and even understood how it worked.Babbage became impressed by that and he became his friend. I think that this part is interesting because it offered Ada a friend in the same environment as she liked and showed her a really interesting machine in her mind.

# data[].attributes.body
The most interesting thing about Ada Lovelace for me, is the fact that even at a time when no one considered her as smart enough because of her gender, she proved them wrong. Effectively Ada was born in 1815; at this time women were not considered able to do maths and science because men were thinking that women's brains could never compete with theirs. But it was without knowing that Ada was gifted with an incredible brain and could understand maths even better than they did. After years of studies and hard work, allowed by her privileged place in society and her mother, she reached a high level of knowledge that she continued to develop over the course of her life. Nevertheless, what is even more impressive is that she developed her ideas and helped improve the analytical engine of Babbage at a young age while she was ill and then while she was a mother of 3. Her work is the foundation of modern technology and helped Alan Turing to create his famous machine "Enigma" that contributed to stop WW2. Finally what is important to mention is that her work impressed everyone even the men who had told her she could never be able to compete with them and understand maths. But she is also one of the first pesons to have perceived numbers as entities, which is the key of technologies. Knowing all of that and how she proved that women like her were as able as men in these disciplines, we can only take her as a great example of success and we can be inspired by her strength, her determination and her work in general, as I'm sure many girls have been in the past.

I decided to talk about how she proved that women have their place in sciences because I think that's the most important thing that remains from her life. Obviously her work is really important but that's the impact she had on society that is the most decisive thing that she left, because thanks to her, many other women were able to take the lead and make discoveries and create new things that have brought a lot to research and to improvement in any aspect of life.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose a part about her father because he took an important place in her life even though he was not present. Her father, Lord Byron, was a famous romantic poet and with her mother, they were members of the high British society. He was a particular character who wasn't interested in numbers and logics. He had a pet bear and drank from a human skull... and also he had a lot of other relationships. He died at 36 years old in a war in Greece after leaving the house and his newborn baby, Ada. Though she never knew her father, she was fascinated by him and his poetry and that’s why I found it interesting. She loved the image that her father sent back and it's very fascinating to see that. Her father inspired and helped her throughout her life. It's important to see how people can affect your life despite their absence.

Even if it was very funny to discover/ attempt to know what the different pictures represent, I chose picture number 2. I found that picture really deep and huge. I was so hypnotised by that blue crystal clear sea that at first I did not even see the biplane. The different shades of blue and the waves make the water look like a paradise, but it also shows the vastness of the ocean and all of the mystery it hides. I was suprised to learn that this picture had been taken in Massachusetts and not on an island in the Pacific Ocean or another heavenly place.

My favourite photo
I have chosen the picture named « diactons », I have chosen this picture because I think that the fact that we can see things that are that small is truly amazing and fascinating . The world that we can’t see is truly amazing and the creatures that we can find are all different, strange and surprising. Another reason why I have chosen this picture is because of the strangeness of their shapes, they are pretty special and unique and their colors are really strange.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose picture number 12.
I was puzzled by this picture, because I didn’t know what it was exactly.

At first, I felt like it was a galaxy, like the Milky Way. I found that the colours blue, white, yellow and green gave a light effect. And in the middle, in the black circle, we can see white dots that look like stars.

Then, I thought the image looked like an eye. The black circle looks like a pupil, and the coloured lines look like an iris.

And finally, I thought it looked like a bacterium. The black circle represents the bacterium, and the blue and white lines represent the hairs around the bacterium.

So this image intrigued me, because I didn't know exactly what it was and so I found it interesting.
