The first programmer Daughter of the famous romantic poet Lord Byron, Ada Lovelace was the first person who imagined that an algorithm could give indications to a machine so that it could operate autonomously. That is, she was the first one to think that, if humans were capable of writing a sequence of instructions in a language that a machine could understand, maybe the machine could perform these tasks on its own, thus becoming a thinking device. What Ada invented is what is now considered the first computer program in history, although there were still many years to come before computers ever existed. Both the register of the narrative and the style of the images are appropriate for schoolchildren between 8 and 11 years old. The text and the images make sure to deal with pedagogical threads that traverse the characters’ scope of activity, both for family readings at home and at school, supporting the educational program. Additionally, throughout the narrative the reader will find all the information necessary to appropriately situate the figure in a socio-historical context.

Augusta Ada Byron, hija del célebre poeta romántico Lord Byron y más conocida como Ada Lovelace, fue una pionera en el Londres del siglo XIX. Gracias a sus conocimientos matemáticos y a su gran imaginación ideó, con el apoyo de sus amigos inventores, el primer programa informático. Lo increíble es que cuando Ada lo inventó, aún no existían los ordenadores. Eso es lo que se llama ser una visionaria. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
