Meet Becah 👋

We’re kicking off a new series where our staff share some of their favorite artifacts at Mimms Museum—and her pick is the Tempest 🎮

Released in 1980, Tempest put players in a geometric tunnel, using a rotary k**b (not a joystick!) to move their spaceship around the edge while battling enemies.

But what makes it especially cool? Its glowing, wireframe look was created using Atari’s vector display technology, bringing together computer programming, mathematics, game design and art in one very ’80s package.

And for a limited time, you can see it for yourself in the Rotunda👀

Stay tuned for more staff favorites!

💻 Long before modern computers existed, Ada Lovelace was imagining what machines could do.

Today, we’re celebrating her contributions to the history of computing and the ideas that helped shape the technology we know today.

What do you think Ada would make of today’s technology?

Mimms Museum of Technology and Art mourns the passing of Margaret Hamilton, a pioneering computer scientist and software engineer whose work helped make history.

As the leader of the team that developed the onboard flight software for NASA's Apollo missions, Hamilton helped ensure that astronauts could safely reach the Moon and return home. Her innovative approach to software reliability proved critical during the Apollo 11 lunar landing, when the spacecraft's computer was overwhelmed by competing tasks. Her software prioritized the most important functions, allowing the mission to continue safely.

Hamilton also helped establish software engineering as a field, pioneering practices that continue to shape the technology we rely on today. In 2016, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Her legacy reaches far beyond the Apollo program. Margaret Hamilton demonstrated the power of curiosity, perseverance, and innovative thinking—and inspired generations of people to imagine what technology could make possible.

We honor her remarkable life, her groundbreaking work, and her enduring place in the history of technology and space exploration.

Meet Dali.exe. 🖥️🎃

Our Dalí-inspired scarecrow has officially made its way to Canton Street for this year’s scarecrow lineup—and we may be a little biased, but we think it’s one of the more surreal entries.

With our Salvador Dalí exhibit leaving soon, Dali.exe is helping us send off the surrealist himself with a little technology-meets-art flair. You can vote for our scarecrow here: https://bit.ly/4zgOTH7

Go find Dali.exe on Canton Street, snap a photo, and tag us when you do! 🎨💻

And if you haven’t seen our Dalí exhibit yet…consider this your sign⏳
