In the annals of computing history, one name often whispers through the corridors of innovation: Ada Lovelace. Though her influence is sometimes overshadowed, Ada is widely recognised as writing the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine [5, 31]. Born Augusta Ada Byron, she collaborated with Charles Babbage on the Analytical Engine, a general-purpose computer [8, 16]. In her notes, she crafted an algorithm to calculate Bernoulli numbers, considered the first computer program [3, 17]. More than just calculations, Ada envisioned the Analytical Engine's potential to manipulate symbols and create music [17, 31]. Her work laid the foundation for modern computing's diverse applications and inspires women in STEM to this day [5, 31].
