Computing students uncover computing secrets at Bletchley Park

Computing students at NULC travelled back in time to experience how the computers we all use nowadays were developed. 

During the visit to the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park, some 40 students from the Extended Diploma IT, Foundation Degree IT and ITQ were able to experience programming as it used to be, see 100's of different computing systems and understand how computing developed from breaking the Enigma and other encryption systems in World War II through brilliant minds such as Alan Turing and Tommy Flowers.
