Additional information
Join Curator of Science and Technology Debbie Douglas and Distinguished Engineer and MIT Museum Volunteer Guy Fedorkow in MIT Collects where they will tell the fascinating story of building an emulator for Whirlwind, MIT's first digital computer. You don't have to be a computer nerd to be fascinated by how a diverse team of women and men (including the first black computer operator) figured out how to get this gigantic machine (2,500 sf!) to solve problems in "real time."
