The Computer Museum of America provides demos of an IBM punchcard machine! Punched cards were widely used through much of the 20th century in the data processing industry, where specialized and increasingly complex unit record machines, organized into semiautomatic data processing systems, used punched cards for data input, output, and storage.
Come join us at the Computer Museum of America in Roswell as we celebrate Brain Day from 1PM to 2PM. We will learn the importance of using our brain to come up with an idea and letting it grow, as well as reading about Albert Einstein, a scientist known for having a very big brain and lots of ideas that have changed the way we study physics today. There will be activities ideal for children aged 6 to 10 following the reading and afterwards, families are invited to explore the museum and its hundreds of objects which all started from a single idea! The museum is open from 12 PM to 5 PM.
The museum has large open space and has put safety measures in place for COVID-19.
Want to try your hand on an IBM punchcard machine? Punched cards were widely used through much of the 20th century in the data processing industry, where specialized and increasingly complex unit record machines, organized into semiautomatic data processing systems, used punched cards for data input, output, and storage. Critical record keeping was done on punchcards across many industries and dropping a stack of cards was a disaster. Come learn more about how this machine was used and punch your own souvenir card to take home during the demo on Saturday from 2-4PM!
Museum is open Friday 12-5PM and Saturday 10AM-5PM.

CMoA is excited to host its second blood drive! Partnering with the American Red Cross in 2020, you helped to save potentially 78 lives at one drive. This year we would like to save up to 100 lives with your help. REGISTER HERE.
Who likes ‘bytes’, brews, and some Apollo history? We do!! CMoA is thrilled to bring back the successful Bytes & Brews series for a second year. Join us Friday, June 24th when CMoA will unveil an Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) and the numeric display and keyboard called the DSKY that astronauts used to communicate with the AGC.
Bytes, as in bites, of light appetizers, and adult beverages will be available for purchase.
This event is for guests 21+
Purchase tickets for this fun evening.
