“Imagination is the Discovering Faculty, preeminently. It is that which penetrates into the unseen worlds around us, the worlds of Science. 

It is that which feels & discovers what is, the real which we see not, which exists not for our senses. Those who have learned to walk on the threshold of the unknown worlds, by means of what are commonly termed par excellence the exact sciences, may then, with the fair white wings of Imagination, hope to soar further into the unexplored amidst which we live.”

- Ada Lovelace 

Her work with Charles Babbage on the Analytical Engine changed computer science forever and inspired generations of scientists, programmers, mathematicians, and designers.

“Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine anything of, who do the things no one can imagine.” 

-Alan Turing 

He pioneered computing machines that could perform multiple different actions, solving numerous problems at once, which paved the way for modern AI. He was also one of the first digital game designers with his program Turochamp, an AI chess simulator. He was never able to test it on a real computer himself, but worked alongside David Champernowne & Alick Glennie to manually test out the algorithm.
