NI School Pupils Testing Out Vintage Computing Technology
School pupils across NI are testing out vintage computing technology with a visit from The CODE Show roadshow museum.
Launched at Wellington College Belfast, the roadshow is touring ten schools across counties Antrim, Down, L’Derry and Tyrone with technology spanning five decades of innovation, including BBC Micros, Acorn Electrons and ZX Spectrums.
Supported by the region’s largest IT employer Allstate NI, the programme comes to Northern Ireland in a bid to encourage more teenagers, particularly young girls, to compare the historical technology with the smartphones and devices of today, and hopefully picture themselves pursuing an IT career in future.
A travelling computing exhibition, The CODE Show originated in the North of England and features 1980s home technology, including a Sinclair C5, which will be available for use by pupils.
By giving hands-on access, it acts as a reminder of how technology has advanced in recent years with the aim of demonstrating that IT is not a new concept, but an evolving area that Northern Ireland is excelling in and has a range of careers in.
