Takita Bartlett-Lashley is doing awesome work in the world of fashion, math and tech! She founded STEM in STYLE to engage young people through fashion and deign.

From Finding Ada:

Working at the intersection of STEM, fashion and education, Takita enjoys exploring creative applications of maths and technology across fashion and design. Her mathematical clothing/jewellery designs have doubled as educational tools gracing the red carpet and classrooms alike, in addition to launching STEM in Style, an initiative which has delivered STEAM events/workshops for over 2000 young people.

More about STEM in Style:

Our aims

• To create engaging learning environments for young people that promote and celebrate the creative applications of Science, Tech, Engineering and Maths (STEM)
• To provide young people with the technical and practical skills that raise their confidence and aspirations to pursue STEM at further/higher education or within their career
• To shift perspectives and stereotypes of STEM and Fashion which limit the capacity by which these subjects can be jointly explored to solve problems within education and in industry

And more about Takita from her own site:

Born in London, and partly raised in Manchester, Takita’s academic prowess and love for the Arts was apparent from an early age. This included, playing multiple instruments, performing on stages across the country whilst recognised at age 11 by the then National Academy for Gifted and Talented after receiving an A* for GCSE maths coursework.

Happy Ada Lovelace Day! Today, in honor of Ada Lovelace, the world celebrates all of the accomplishments of women in science, art, design, technology, engineering, and math. Each year, Adafruit highlights a number of women who are pioneering their fields and inspiring women of all ages to make their voices heard. Today we will be sharing the stories of women that we think are modern day “Adas” alongside historical women that have made impacts in science and math.
