It was Ada Lovelace Day on Tuesday this week, celebrating women’s achievements in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields. The official website has many links to this year’s stories – excellent weekend reading!
Last year, Mary put together a list of HaT’s previous Friday Hoyden posts featuring women in science and technology etc: Dagmar Berne, Mahananda Dasgupta, Claudia Alexander, Grace Hopper, Peggy Whitson and Pamela Melroy, Elizabeth Blackburn & Jane Goodall.
Since last year’s ALD we’ve added Marita Cheng and Emmy Noether to our collection of Hoydens in STEM.
This year Mary has a submissions post up at Geek Feminism calling for crossposts of Ada Lovelace Day 2012 posts, so if you’ve blogged something please go and submit it over there! (and drop a quick link here if you want as well).
Did you go to any Ada Lovelace Day events this year? Tell us about it if you did.
I put in a shout out for Sydney Padua’s 2daygoggles and their Ada Lovelace and Babbage cartoons, and the current Ada Lovelace T-shirt!

Wish I’d known about it in advance, but I saw a great Halloween costume today
