Ada Lovelace Punchcard Necklace

Ada Lovelace published the first computer program in 1843. She was also the first person to describe a general purpose computer. This necklace, part of our Women in Science Collection, celebrates Lovelace's contributions to the field of computer science. 

This necklace is based on a punch card made for the Analytical Engine, the mechanical computer that Lovelace’s program was designed to run on.

This necklace comes with a fold-out card with Lovelace's story.
