The goal of Stemettes and its sister organisations is to get the women in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) workforce up to 30% by 2020.
When you consider that women began coding 200 years ago, it seems like a fairly realistic ambition. October 15 saw the annual Ada Lovelace day, which every year celebrates the achievements of the Victorian woman credited with writing the first piece of code for Charles Babbage’s analytical engine.
