Ada Lovelace, born in 1815, is considered to be the ‘first computer
programmer’, even though computers had not yet been invented.
She was called a computer programmer because she worked out a series
of algorithms (instructions) that a machine could use to compute
another brilliant mathematician who worked with NASA - the
North American Space Association. NASA was responsible for
sending rockets and people into space. It was Katherine’s job to check
all of the calculations that the engineers and astronauts used when
designing the spacecraft and flying them into space. In 2016, a movie
was made about Katherine Johnson and the other women who
the movie, the women had to learn how to do basic coding when NASA
started using computers.
Have you ever tried coding?
