What is Ada Lovelace about?
Ada Lovelace is no ordinary Victorian girl. While others expect girls to avoid maths and science, Ada fills her time imagining flying machines, solving problems and inventing new ideas. Born to poet Lord Byron and raised by her strict mother, she grows into a brilliant mathematician. When she meets Charles Babbage, Ada studies his remarkable calculating machine and writes ideas for what it could do. Her imagination and logic make her a pioneer—and the world’s first computer programmer.
