The Ada Effect: Celebrating Ada Lovelace Day 2026

We’re celebrating Ada Lovelace Day 2026 on October 13 through our campaign, The Ada Effect. Inspired by the work of Ada Lovelace, whose work as a mathematician, writer, and computer programmer was forgotten for over a decade but went on to change countless lives, we’re highlighting the idea that connecting a young woman or non-binary person with diverse STEAM role models doesn’t just change one life; it triggers a chain reaction that transforms our economy, culture, and future.

Every major technological breakthrough has a hidden equation, and too many brilliant minds are left out of writing them. By funding a Stemette today, you are funding the next industry pioneer who will design tomorrow’s world.
