Our challenge is to present complex content in an accessible way and continuously enhance our educational offerings to spark visitors’ passion for informatics.

Our initiative enriches educational experiences by connecting theoretical knowledge with practical applications. Through exhibits, guided tours, and workshops, we provide a journey from early mechanical calculators to advanced digital systems. We continuously update and expand our displays based on visitor feedback to keep pace with technological and educational advancements.
The impact
The museum significantly enhances societal understanding of technology’s evolution, inspiring future innovators.
