A young girl with a brilliant mind, a machine unlike anything the world had ever seen, and an idea that would change history-this is the story of the first computer programmer.

In a time when girls were expected to focus on music and manners, she studied math. While others saw machines as simple tools, she saw something more-a future where they could follow instructions, process information, and even create. Long before computers existed, she wrote the first algorithm, proving that machines could do far more than just crunch numbers.

This book brings her groundbreaking discoveries to life in a way that is exciting and accessible for young readers. Through engaging storytelling, it explores how she turned her love for math into something extraordinary, worked alongside famous inventors, and predicted the future of computing over a century before it became reality.

Packed with fascinating details, fun activities, and inspiring lessons about curiosity, creativity, and perseverance, this is the perfect book for kids who love science, technology, and history. Whether they're future programmers, engineers, or simply big thinkers, readers will discover how one girl's ideas helped shape the world of modern technology.
