From the world of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls comes a story
based on the exciting real-life adventures of Ada Lovelace, one of the
world's first computer programmers.
Growing up in nineteenth century London, England, Ada is curious about
absolutely everything. She is obsessed with machines and with creatures
that fly. She even designs her own flying laboratory!
According to her mother, Ada is a bit too wild, so she encourages Ada to
study math. At first Ada thinks: Bleh! Who can get excited about a
subject without pictures? But she soon falls in love with it. One day
she encounters a mysterious machine, and from that moment forward Ada
imagines a future full of possibility--one that will eventually inspire
the digital age nearly two hundred years later.
Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code is the story of a pioneer in the computer
sciences, and a testament to women's invaluable contributions to STEM
throughout history.
This historical fiction chapter book also includes additional text on
Ada Lovelace's lasting legacy, as well as three educational activities
designed to teach simple coding, programming, and mathematical concepts.
