Apollo Guidance Computer

The National Museum of Computing

Sunday, 31st May 2026 from 11.00 am to 12.00 noon
Block H, Bletchley Park, Bletchley MK3 6GX

In this talk we travel back to the 1960s to explore what it takes to program the Apollo Guidance Computer. Join us in a world before “best practices” and before “test-driven development”. A world where software was literally woven by hand.

Speakers: Neil Fraser and Lena Ku are software engineers at New Voice in Zürich. At work they develop alarm systems and in their spare time they like to engage in computer archeology.
