[Year 12 IPM] Excursion

[Roland Gesthuizen]

It is now housed in the Melbourne museum complex. The fascinating display
even allows students to look behind and even inside the huge, room filling
computer. I was interested to spot the many parallels it has with modern
computers, not bad for something that ran its first program back in 1949!

I am curious what kind of things teachers would be interested in doing if
they took a group of students to see CSIRAC or surfed the MOV website (I
admit to having a vested interest in asking this).

Regards Roland

Roland,
I think CSIRAC is at the Spotswood site of the museum. You might want to 
check this.
