COMING SOON: Ada Lovelace Day – 11th October 2016

This is just a gentle reminder that Ada Lovelace Day 2016 will be coming up on Tuesday 11^th October 2016 and we will be looking to reconvene a working group to prepare for an Ada Lovelace day of events; incorporating a Wikipedia editathon celebrating the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).

At this moment in time, I am looking for expressions of interest in being involved in this event once more and Wikipedia pages we should look to create and improve related to Women in STEM.

If you know of someone who would like to be involved then please feel free to forward on the event details and let them know I’d love to hear from them.

Other projects are in development too. If you would like to be involved in them then email me.
