Computer science

See one of the largest attempted domino-based computers in action at MOSI. Matt Parker, Manchester Science Festival's science communicator in residence, has designed a computer which works not using electricity, but dominoes! We will create it, domino by domino, and then run it to work out a simple calculation. Once the machine is set in motion, see the information travelling along the lines of dominoes and then learn how computers work in a similar way.
