About the event

Old School Computing at Devonport Library
Travel back to the 80s and explore BASIC, the programming language that sparked home computing.

About this Event

NOTE: This session is on Tuesday 30 September, not Monday as printed in the School Holiday Program.

Computers are central to life today. But did you know that computers really caught on in homes in the 1980's? Join us as we learn to program in the BASIC language that was widely used in that decade. It's a great way to learn logic and take control of a computer. Let's go back to the 80s!
