Join the conversation in our closed social network for young women and non-binary folks.
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.
Want to directly donate an amount of your choosing? Head over to our JustGiving page below. Any donation you make will add a node with your name on it added to our Ada Effect map below, showing the impact your donation makes in connecting a young person to their future.
Host your own fundraising event and take part in the Chain Reaction Challenge! Your event doesn’t need to be big or complex; what matters most is connection and impact. We’ll provide you with agendas, event hosting guidance, downloadable resources, and a video keynote from our CEO.
Every donation and fundraiser supports our mission to engage and champion young women and non-binary people to shape the future of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Maths (STEAM) by building a community where they belong, connect, and thrive together.
