In recognition of International Women’s Day, ARM today announced
a global partnership with Ada Lovelace Day, an international
celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology,
engineering and maths (STEM) subjects. This year, Ada Lovelace Day
takes place on Tuesday 13 October when communities across the World
host events and educational activities to encourage girls and women
to explore STEM subjects and careers.
ARM has signed a multi-year partnership with Ada Lovelace Day to
be the official ambassador for the semiconductor industry. In this
role ARM will support the development and delivery of an
educational resource pack for use in schools globally, as well as
other projects to inspire girls and women to engage in science
subjects.
The event is named after Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), who is widely
regarded as the world’s first computer programmer. 2015 marks the
bicentenary of Ada’s birth and is the seventh annual celebration.
This year Ada Lovelace Day Live will take place at Conway Hall,
London on 13 October, with grassroots celebrations being held
around the world by independent organizers.
“I’m thrilled to have ARM as a key partner in Ada Lovelace Day,
supporting our rapidly expanding efforts to inspire and support
women in STEM around the world,” said Suw Charman-Anderson,
founder, Ada Lovelace Day. “We look forward to collaborating with
ARM to develop educational resources that will inspire the next
generation of girls to consider science, technology, engineering or
maths as a future career.”
“Ada Lovelace Day provides an excellent opportunity to inform
and encourage women and girls to pursue and explore careers in STEM
subjects,” said Jennifer Duvalier, executive vice president of
people, ARM. ”Our partnership will raise awareness that a career in
engineering is an exciting and well-rewarded option for women as
well as help elevate the profile this inspiring organization and
celebration globally. We are positive that this long-term
partnership will provide engagement for women to kick-start their
careers and become successful engineers of the future. Being
headquartered in Cambridge where Ada’s seminal work on the
Difference Engine took place, adds an additional resonance to our
partnership.”
In further celebration of International Women’s Day, ARM is also
supporting the ‘everywoman Forum 2015: Advancing Women in
Technology’ event at London’s Hilton Hotel on 17 March 2015. Six
hundred delegates will be joining together to debate and engage in
