You are invited to a WISE evening with Crystal Sisson who has authored a book about Elsie Gregory MacGill. A woman of many firsts, Elsie became an engineer, advisor, author, advocate of women’s rights and was honoured with many distinctions. Join us for an intimate session with Crystal who will tell us about how Elsie merged her love of engineering with her values and passions throughout her life. Elsie’s story is about how we can end up taking on varied and interesting roles in life. These roles can surprise us, reward us, and turn us into great professionals, entrepreneurs, social advocates and leaders.</div>

It is not for everyone. It will always require persistence, creativity, and openness to learning new things regardless of how many times you do it. And it is completely worth it. Successful innovations impact lives. There are ways to understand the value of opportunities and increase the likelihood of success. We will talk about the innovation process and some examples and how to increase your chances of a successful career in innovation.<br />

<br />
Ada Lovelace is frequently cited as having been the first computer programmer, even though there were no computers during her lifetime (1815-1852), because she was a mathematician and worked with algorithms which have since been recognized as computer programs. Ada Lovelace day is an annual event to raise the profile of women in science, technology, engineering, and math. So as a tribute to past scientists, mathematicians, and engineers, we will be dusting off the Wikipedia editing skills we learned last month and putting them to work again. <br />
<br />
Both new and experienced editors are welcome. <br />
Please bring a laptop (if you have one).<br />
