Difference Engines: Babbage and Beyond

Ever since reading the 1990 Steampunk classic The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling I have been intrigued by mechanical computing. This program shares that interest with others by exploring a brief history of computing before the age of silicon and giving participants lots of guided hands-on time using rare analog computing machines from the 17th-20th centuries.

See my image carousel in the next section for a visual tour of the devices available in this program.
