We’re reading “Ada Lovelace and the Thinking Machine” by Laurie Wallmark and “Rosie Revere, Engineer” by Andrea Beaty this week!
Friday, July 31, 1 – 2 PM
This week, bring your kids to storytime to learn about Ada Lovelace, one of the very first ‘computer scientists’, and her passion for inventions and creativity. We will also read “Rosie Revere, Engineer” which shares the importance of perseverance and never giving up when trying new things.
There will be activities ideal for children ages 6 to 10 following the reading and afterwards, families are invited to explore the museum and its hundreds of artifacts, many of which are rooted in Ada Lovelace’s contributions to computer science! The museum is open from 12 PM to 5 PM on Friday, and 10 AM – 5 PM on Saturday.
When arriving in time for Tech Tales on Friday, one child is free with each adult admission! The museum has large open space and has safety measures in place for COVID-19.

In our National Science Foundation supported research, “Participatory Sensemaking in Embodied Co-Creative Agents”, collaborators from Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State University analyze a dancer’s sensemaking process in an improvisatory dance setting.
This research shines a light on the nuanced and intuitive decisions involved in co-creative dance exchanges. Through this research, we aim to impart invaluable information to design a co-creative artificial intelligence tool to improvise with dancers, while also gaining new perspectives to recognize the deep value of our embodied choices. In this talk, participants will learn about the research taking place between our team of scientists and dance experts and discuss the limitless applications of dance and technology in the realms of learning, training, and creativity.
