New Academic Year - Old Equipment

Posted in: History ETA

We start the new academic year with the ability to open our doors for invited guests. Please let us know if you'd like to come along, and we'll see if we can fit you in!
We're not quite on daily opening just yet - but we have now got things to see and do!

Our displays are pretty much full.

We have things you can play with:

BBC Micro B; Ingersoll Screenplay XK600B

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Computers of various ages:

 

Excitingly, we've had a visit from our Comp Science department today, and we're going to start working on how we get the lab in use for the students; through project work, and through working together.
