Computing History

Interactive docent-led discussions are approximately one hour long and provide a general overview of Revolution: The First 2000 Years of Computing History. Docents are trained to help students look deeply and consider the relationships between historical artifacts and contemporary technology. As an added benefit, students have the opportunity to learn from professionals who have first-hand knowledge of the history of computers, many of whom were pioneers in the field.

We encourage classes to come with questions; teachers may find our suggestions for student activities helpful in preparing students to participate in gallery discussions. All school groups must reserve their docent-led discussions at least six weeks in advance. Please review Plan a School Group Visit for more information.
