Ada Lovelace Day - Wednesday, March 24 - blog about a woman in science/technology whom you admire!
Everyone, I'm going to do this and our Synchronized Chaos writers have done this before...great idea, consider joining me in your blogs! And there are all these local Ada Lovelace Day events...in Europe, so far - but we in the US can start our own event!
Synchronized Chaos also sponsors Theano's Day...a similar event on June 24th for women in philosophy. Theano was the mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras' wife and Mom of his five children, all while supporting him financially and serving as a full intellectual partner and collaborating on mathematical and intellectual work. She's said to have invented the Golden Mean. More promotion for that as the day approaches...but let's do Ada Lovelace Day for now. Just sign up for free at the link below, http://findingada.com - and then post your blog entry on the 24th! Signing up means that others can read your blogpost, and I'd love to see it if you write one!
Please join us on March 24 for Ada Lovelace Day
Ada Lovelace Day is an international day of blogging (videologging, podcasting, comic drawing etc.!) to draw attention to the achievements of women in technology and science.
Women’s contributions often go unacknowledged, their innovations seldom mentioned, their faces rarely recognised. We want you to tell the world about these unsung heroines, whatever they do. It doesn’t matter how new or old your blog is, what gender you are, what language you blog in, or what you normally blog about - everyone is invited. Just sign the pledge below (click ‘pledge’ after you have completed the reCaptcha) and publish your blog post any time on Wednesday 24th March 2010.
