A great story for children who may be interested in computers to deepen their understanding of people who pioneered the future of technology

“The imagination is the key to the future.“

This biography tells the story of Ada Lovelace, the world‘s first computer programmer. It introduces children to the role women have played in science, technology, and mathematics.

“Dreams and numbers can change the world.”

“The tale of a woman who saw the poetry in numbers.“

This elegant biography tells the story of Ada Lovelace, a visionary who blended mathematics and imagination to become the first computer programmer.

"I am in a dream world of my own creating."

Ideal for discussing women in STEM and the history of computers. Students can explore Ada's life and think about how they might use math and science in their own lives.

This biography introduces Ada Lovelace, the 19th-century mathematician who is considered one of the first computer programmers. The book emphasizes her curiosity and groundbreaking work in mathematics and computing.

This picture book about Ada Lovelace, widely regarded as the first computer programmer, explains how she got interested in math and science, and how she came to write programs to expand the possibilities for Charles Babbage‘s Analytical Engine.

Friends with Charles Babbage, she is now credited as the first computer programmer. #internationalwomensday

“The lyrical prose written by author Diane Stanley, and the winsome, cartoon-like illustrations that utilize gouache by illustrator Jessie Hartland, work together to draw readers into the true story of how Ada Lovelace‘s ingenuity led her to experiment with her hobbies and surroundings in England, culminating in her work and eventual distinction as the world‘s first computer programmer.” https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xi-4/3/

#ReadingResolutions Day 24: Couldn‘t be happier with #FemaleAuthor(s) and Illustrators teaming up to write picturebook biographies of notable female scientists/ mathematicians to inspire young readers, male and female alike.

I hope to read of these books before the end of March. Do you see any that you would like to read?

Was pulling books today for my internship at a public library and came across this utterly charming story.

Ada Lovelace was awesome. Can there be a historical fiction book written about her? I would read the hell out of that.

This was such a fun way to introduce Ada Lovelace to my boys! I love the illustrations as well.
