Ada's Team was established by a dozen computing science undergraduate and graduate students, mostly women, as well as professors and administrators in the Faculty of Science. The group formed initially out of a shared interest in attending the Grace Hopper Celebration for Women in Computing (the world's largest gathering of women technologists), designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. In addition to providing a safe and positive space on campus for young women to meet and share their experiences, the office is often used to offer in-house support to computing science students, including free tutoring sessions and drop-in activities.
Your support enables the group to send women to attend the conference focused on diversity and equity, and to provide continued support for students on campus, while also extending support beyond campus, for example, helping with all-girls coding camps.
