She Codes Australia

Meet Ada Lovelace 💻

Born in 1815, Ada was a mathematician who worked alongside Charles Babbage on early mechanical computing concepts.
She’s best known for writing the first algorithm designed to be processed by a machine, earning her recognition as the world’s first computer programmer.

But beyond that, Ada had a remarkable vision - she imagined computers could go far beyond numbers and calculations, even exploring ideas like music and creativity.

Her legacy is a reminder that women have been part of the foundations of technology from the very beginning.
And we’re still building on that today.

Tech is for everyone 💛

We’ve had people from all ages, backgrounds, and careers walk through our doors and start learning to code.

Chefs, wine sommeliers, teachers, accountants, social workers, hospitality staff… even someone who worked on a super yacht.

Different stories. Different starting points. Same curiosity and drive.

The first step is always the hardest. But it gets a whole lot easier when you’ve got a community behind you, and a space where you’re allowed to figure it out as you go.
