Ada Lovelace was a mathematician.
She is regarded as the world's first programmer.

Today we have invited 50 children from two schools in Malmö
for a visit  at Malmö University.
My Adolfsson, mentor and student in the Systems Development programme
I believe it's incredibly important to offer events like this in in order to spark interest among these girls.
Christina Knepper, mentor and student in the Information Architect programme
Programming is about breaking down complex things into
something that is easy to understand.
This is exactly what the girls have been doing today.
They started out by cutting out some parts
and then glue them together into small blocks.
And suddenly they had
solved a problem that they didn't know in the beginning how to solve.
I definitely wish that we had a day
like this when I was 10.
Because then perhaps I would have discovered my interest in tech much earlier.
Then I would have found my way here much earlier.
Anyone can learn programming.
A girl can become just as good at this as any boy.
It really doesn't matter what gender the person has.
The only thing that matters is that you are motivated and want to learn.
Thank you to all the girls from Lorensborgsskolan and Gullviksskolan
