a woman named after the computer scientist Ada Lovelace. \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Julie Morgan, Assembly member for Cardiff North said: \u201cIn Wales we are so anxious and keen for our children to be involved in science and we know there are barriers for them to be involved. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI think the initiative to be taken in terms of producing something readable and presentable that can reach out to children, is exactly the way to go ahead. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe want to make science accessible to everyone, so this completely aligns with the vision for Wales and for children and young people.\u201d <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The friends also left the comic book black and white so the pupils can colour them in. Also teachers\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">can download and print it freely, without worrying about the cost of full colour print.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sarah-Eve Roberts, project coordinator of Universe in the Classroom, run by Cardiff School of Physics and Astronomy, has been taking the first Ada comic book into Welsh primary schools for the last year and a half.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt is a great tool to teach about equality and diversity and something all primary schools in Wales have to teach now,&#8221; she said.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cEdward and Laura have chosen some key questions, which seem very simple but have led to massive scientific discoveries. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe want to say &#8216;even if it seems stupid we should ask that question as you might find out something really exciting&#8217;. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSchools have been really positive and visual resources go down really well.
