Cogs2Computers, our 2020/2021 project, is designed to support and bring the Red2Green community, the local schools and the public together to learn the history of computers, to enjoy interacting with one another and to learn something new. We are incredibly grateful to all who participate in the National Lottery, as their money allows for these kinds of projects to happen!​

Antikythera Mechanism

The hand-powered, 2,000-year-old device displayed the motion of the universe, predicting the movement of the five known planets, the phases of the moon and the solar and lunar eclipses. But quite how it achieved such impressive feats has proved fiendishly hard to untangle.

It was discovered on a shipwreck off the coast of the Antikythera island in Greece by divers looking for sponges. Options and Aspirations looked into it from picture sheets and YouTube links and produced some lovely work artwork.
 
Abacus and Slide Rule


Options looked at different types of abacus from around the world and discussed their uses and made their own, some clients completed maths equations, and some enjoyed the sensory side of the activity, involvement for everyone.

Aspirations looked at Abacus’ too but also slide rules, the origin and uses of slide rules and why we no longer use them… someone developed an electronic calculator much to the joy of nearly everyone as Aspirations found out when they made their own and used a digital version, they were very complicated to use (but very clever too).
 
Aspirations produced some amazing artwork, and our resident maths genius Adam came up with some fantastic maths games, great fun was had by all.
