When we think of giants within the technology and computing fields, many of us in the Manchester area automatically think of Alan Turing. Further afield we may think of Bill Gates, Steve 工作, or the Larry’s; Page and Ellison. But few I suspect would think of Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace.
生于1815年, 洛夫莱斯伯爵夫人, or Ada Lovelace as she is so often known was an English mathematician, mainly known for her work on Charles Babbage’s mechanical computer, 分析机. She is also believed to be the first to have published an algorithm intended to be carried out by such a machine, and as a result is often regarded as one of the first computer programmers.
1981年， Association for Women in Computing 就职的 Ada Lovelace奖. 自1998年起， 英国计算机学会 (BCS)已授予 色鬼奖章, and in 2008 initiated an annual competition for women students. BCSWomen sponsors the Lovelace Colloquium, an annual conference for women undergraduates.
2020年4月8日, 梅勒妮应付, a first-year BSc (Hons) Business 科技nology student, represented Manchester Metropolitan University to present her research at the BCSWomen Lovelace Colloquium. The conference is uniquely organised for female students of computing and related disciplines and was originally scheduled to take place at University of Stirling, 苏格兰, 但由于大流行, was transformed into a revolutionary virtual conference utilising technology such as Canvas and Discord.
Melanie successfully won first place in her year group for 她的海报, after successfully defending and answering questions from industry experts and the live conference audience; clearly another technology giant in the making!
Well done Melanie for the great effort, dedication and versatility to handle the last-minute changes from a physical to a virtual presentation. All of the Manchester Met Business 科技nology Team are all exceptionally proud of you!
Here’s what Melanie had to say about the event:
'Participating in the conference was a great experience. The organisers did a fantastic job and there were informative online sessions by inspiring female industry leaders. After each session, there was a digital Q&A session with the speaker via Discord. I am enthralled that I won in my category and cannot wait to participate again next year. I'd encourage other women from the department to participate too, you won't be disappointed.'
梅兰妮制作了一个 video of her explaining the benefits of this award and what she did to win.
