The crowdfunding campaign launched by the Museo Piemontese dell’Informatica (MuPIn) is officially online, with the support of the Fondazione Sviluppo e Crescita CRT. The aim is to sustain and expand the reach of Ada Lovelace Day—an initiative that has promoted the role of women in science and technology for over a decade.

Launched on the Eppela platform, the campaign marks a turning point in the history of the initiative: for the first time, it opens to public participation, giving everyone the chance to actively support a cultural and educational project that seeks to reshape the narrative of STEM through equity, inclusion, and accessibility.

A campaign that doubles the value of your contribution

This crowdfunding campaign is strategic: if we succeed in raising €5,000 from the public, Fondazione Sviluppo e Crescita CRT will match the amount with an additional €5,000. This will significantly amplify the impact of the initiative. The foundation’s support is activated only if the €5,000 goal is reached and serves as a powerful catalyst to bring the project to more schools, neighbourhoods, and cultural contexts that are currently underserved. Every donation brings us closer not only to the fundraising target, but to the concrete possibility of expanding access to scientific and technological knowledge, offering real opportunities to those who need them most.

Why this campaign matters

Ada Lovelace Day, active in Italy since 2012 thanks to MuPIn’s commitment, is much more than a celebration: it is a tool for inspiration, engagement, and transformation. With this crowdfunding campaign, we aim to strengthen this role by making the initiative even more widespread and accessible. The funds raised will allow us to:

• Offer free coding, logic, and robotics workshops in schools with limited access

• Launch mentorship programs to support girls in their first steps in the STEM world

• Produce podcasts, videos, and educational materials accessible nationwide

• Organise travelling exhibitions highlighting female figures in science and technology

An opportunity to act together

Supporting this campaign means choosing to invest in a more equitable future—one where girls and young women can see themselves in the languages of science, technology, and innovation. It also means contributing to the creation of more inclusive learning environments and bringing new opportunities to often-overlooked communities.

Participation in the campaign is accompanied by symbolic and material rewards, including free access to the museum, exclusive digital content, the official t-shirt, a certificate of participation, and recognition as a patron of knowledge.
