Did you know that the first person to program a computer was a woman?

Ada Lovelace

We're talking about the 19th century, when computers as we know them today didn't even exist.

Ada worked with a theoretical machine created by Charles Babbage.

While everyone else saw it as a giant calculator, she realised something remarkable: the machine could do far more than process numbers.

Ada wrote the first algorithm in history.

More than that, she foresaw that computers could create music, images and art.

All of this in the 19th century.

For many years, her work went unrecognised.

Today, she is acknowledged as the mother of computer programming. Every line of code carries a part of her legacy.

Ada Lovelace didn't just program a machine.

She programmed the future.
