[Video] Families Come Out for the Vintage Computer Faire

The Living Computer Museum in downtown Seattle held its first annual Vintage Computer Faire on August 9th. Families were invited to get hands-on with a 3D printer, make jewelry, play with old computers and arcade machines, and enjoy the exhibits at the Living Computer Museum.

The Living Computer Museum collects all kinds of old machines—from the huge, wall-covering computers of the 80s to the first gaming machines. It’s a short but intense history lesson, and many of the parents we spoke too were excited to show their kids the computers that they had first used—computers that are nearly unrecognizable compared to today’s computers. All of the computers are still in working order, and kids were invited to play with them.

The Vintage Computer Faire might be over, but the Living Computer Museum is open all year long. Next time you’re in Seattle, stop in and check it out!
