Who is Future Ada?
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit based in Spokane, Washington who believes in empowering women, non-binary individuals and other underrepresented groups within STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) fields. We are named after Ada Lovelace, the famous mathematician and first computer programmer.
Our demographic includes all ages, all backgrounds, all levels of education, and a focus on genders that are not prominently represented in STEAM. Through workshops, trainings, community outreach, and mentorship we believe we can build a strong and inclusive world for STEAM which will help turn these industries into ones diverse people will feel welcome to participate in.
Vision
To create sustainable diverse and inclusive spaces for all people within STEAM.
Mission
Advocating for diversity and inclusion in STEAM via community education, outreach, and support networks so all people feel welcome and wanted in these exciting fields.
“Imagination is the Discovering Faculty, pre-eminently. It is that which penetrates into the unseen worlds around us, the worlds of Science.”
Ada Lovelace
Values
Inclusion | Diversity | Collaboration | Representation | Security | Creativity | Innovation | Empowerment
