Hi Spacecats, I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and welcome to my channel, where you can find all things space, astronomy and physics! Ada Lovelace was the Victorian visionary who became the world's FIRST computer programmer! 🤯 Long before Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, Ada saw the potential of machines to do more than just calculate. In celebration of ada lovelace day, this video, will explore her groundbreaking work with Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine - the precursor to our modern day computer.
