Sat
16
Sat 16 Aug 5:00 PM to 5:00 PM
HOPE AND ANCHOR
General Admission
Digital computers were invented in the 1940s.
These early machines were electro-mechanical in nature.
What were the critical developments which allowed the computer revolution we live in today?
How does your computer actually work?
What are the fundamental principles developed in the 1940s which paved the way for the modern computer age?
Come and see a 2020s rebuild of a 1945 electro-mechanical computer.
Maybe you’ve heard of the early Australia 1949 CSIRAC?
Or the USA ENIAC?
Or British EDVAC?
Well, I have the DAVIAC,
And I'm Dave.
Find me upstairs at the Roving Scientist Bar. I’ll be in the kitchen. Demonstrations start every half hour.
A family-friendly version of this event is available as part of Family Hour at the Roving Scientist Bar, 3:30 - 5pm on Saturday 16 August.
