Lightning Challenge – Ada Lovelace Day

Ada Lovelace

Ada Lovelace

I’d like to think of last week’s design challenges as a great success.  The first was an OpenSCAD challenge to recreate an inverse Turner’s Cube and the second was another OpenSCAD challenge to create a 20-sided die that had the number “20″ imprinted into each side.

Given that today is Ada Lovelace day the lightning challenge is to share something inspired by the first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace.1  If you need help finding inspiration, just check out the marathon of posts at Adafruit Industries as they profile women in technology, science, and math throughout the day in celebration.  Here’s how you can participate in this challenge:

  1. Create a printable design inspired by Ada Lovelace or awesome woman in technology, science, mathematics
  2. Upload your STL to Thingiverse and tag it with “adalovelace

Super awesome best happy good luck friendship points shall be awarded to (1) the first person to upload their Ada Lovelace inspired design and (2) the most creative design.

  1. Thanks for reminding me Schmarty! []
