On 17 October 2019, we travelled to Newcastle Prep School, Gosforth, Newcastle Upon Tyne, all year groups were enthralled by the stories behind the historical computers.
Pupils enjoyed a good mixture of problem solving with 8-bit coding, through to some 1980s gaming classics.
We discussed the early bedroom coders that learned as early pioneers how to code these machines, which progressed into a small mail order cottage industry, growing into the multi billion pound games industry that we know today.
