“She conjures numbers in the night; they bow and dance before their queen,

who labours hard by candle-light at work the world has not yet seen”. These words written by English poet Brian Bilston, celebrate the contributions of a woman whose visionary insights helped shape the world as we know it.

Ada Lovelace, the Enchantress of Numbers, saw the world in ways that opened a door into a future she could only imagine. She possessed the ability to look beyond the conventional science of her day, and in doing so offers us a roadmap to envision a future of our own making.
