Did you know a modern-day flash drive contains more memory than entire computers from the 1960s? Join the Museum for a conversation with Max Post from the Texas Instruments Alumni Association for a show and tell presentation about early computers and how they developed into the devices we have today. Afterwards, learn how to grow crystals like those used in the construction of semi-conductors.

 

The Museum thanks Texas Instruments and the Texas Instruments Alumni Association for supporting this program.
