About this Event
The Kindness Studio is hosting an event to commemorate Ada Lovelace. Ada Lovelace, a 19th century mathematics, and computer science pioneer is celebrated globally as a role model for women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In March 2022, a statue of Ada Lovelace was unveiled by St Edward in Millbank Quarter at the City of Westminster.
The studio has paired up with the Alan Turing Institute and St Edward to celebrate Ada Lovelace day and discuss how the sculpture will elevate woman progressing in STEM.
The highlight of the event will be the Q&A segment which will feature Mary & Etienne Millner (artists of the Ada Lovelace statue), Elisabeth Rounis (neurologist) and Aidan Meller (creator of Ai-Da). The Q&A will inform the audience of the message and rationale of the Lovelace statue located in the Millbank Residences development in Westminster. The event will supply an open network to speak on the struggles of women in the sciences. The goal of the upcoming event is to promote creativity in art and science and encourage an open discussion on widening the door to gender inclusivity in STEM. The event comes at a time when, according to the UK education hub, women account for only 11.4% of STEM starts (2019/20).
The Kindness Studio encourages everyone to come out and participate in the event in Mar next year.
