Tuesday 8th October was Ada Lovelace day, and Queen's University Belfast had a collaboration initiative with Ashfield Girls' High School in Belfast. The group of students had a great time at a coding and information workshop celebrating the woman who was considered to be the world's first ever computer programmer, Ada Lovelace, delivered by Rebekka Campbell from EEECS.

Head of ICT, Colette Walker, at Ashfield Girls' High School, Belfast said "the girls found Rebekka to be so approachable and supportive - at times they kept her busy. The feedback from the girls was very positive and they really enjoyed the Poetry Generator task. It got them thinking logically and thinking of the basics of code. The session about careers in IT, Ada Lovelace and the School of Computing at Queens was amazing and had the girls engaged. The girls found it valuable to get a glimpse of what studying computing at Queens is like, even at such a young age."

Queen's would like to thank Colette for inviting us to participate with the girls on such a symbolic day for Women in STEM and we look forward to more opportunities to collaborate and continue building pathways for students into the world of computing in the future.
