A celebration of STEM: Ada Lovelace Day 2026

Ada Lovelace Day is an international celebration held annually on the second Tuesday of October to honour the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

The College of Systems and Society will be coming together as a community of students, academics and professional staff to celebrate all fields and disciplines in the college, and acknowledge the importance of pioneers across our fields.
