Synopsis

Ada Lovelace turned her powerful imagination into a vision of the future, predicting the impact of computers on human life. Lovelace had a unique education and embraced mathematics. She became one of the biggest believers in engineer Charles Babbage's ideas for calculation machines. This graphic biography shows how Lovelace helped spread awareness of what an early computer could do and how she became one of the first computer programmers. It also shows how Lovelace pushed back against doubts about calculation machines and against her own self-doubt.

This book was very informative! I love that it shows the process of invention and that things do not start out perfect and inventions go through a process before they are even presented to the public. I think a lot of times kids in this generation think that when they create something it should be p......more
