This event will take place on 15th October, as part of the Ada Lovelace day celebrations that are taking place across the UK. It’s a free event, taking place in 85/2207 from 1-4pm, with refreshments.

Come along for an opportunity to hear about how Ada inspired the career of Dr Honora Smith, a member of staff at the university who is related to Ada.
