  1. Today we remember #AdaLovelace Day, famed for her work on #CharlesBabbage's proposed mechanical computer, the #AnalyticalEngine.
    In 1843, Lovelace published what would now be recognized as a #computerprogram to generate Bernoulli numbers and was the first to see the creative potential of Babbage's machine.
    As for the day honoring Lovelace, its goal is to increase the profile of women in STEM and encourage more girls into #STEM careers.
