Topic: Youth

Learn how simple computer emulators can get beginners interested in computer programming, and help teach kids learning to program. In this presentation I will demonstrate how simple retro computers, like the WITCH, can be used to teach and interest kids in programming. The National Museum of Computing is looking to get emulators and modern replicas of the retro computers to aid education. Bring your laptop (optional). I have been lucky to be a part of making the WITCH-E Emulator, the educational emulator of the oldest currently working programmable digital computer in the world!
