A chance to tour the first computer science department in the country, and one that has built computers of all sizes, ranging from those in the 1940s that took up a whole room, to those that today sit in the palm of your hand.
During our Open Day, researchers will take small groups on short tours of the Department, highlighting everything from relics of EDSAC – the first programmable computer ever to come into service in the UK – to the many areas of computer science and technology where we have made, and are making, major contributions today.
These include the development of programming languages and operating systems; computer hardware, software and architecture; pioneering new cybersecurity technology; artificially intelligent agents – and emotionally intelligent robots.
