retroTECH | Georgia Tech Library
Through retroTECH, scholars and educators engage in experiential learning, hands-on research and development, and community building around how our lives shape technology--and how technology shapes our lives--over time.
The vision of retroTECH is to inspire a culture of long-term thinking, ongoing access to technological heritage, peer-to-peer discovery, and individual empowerment.
Visit the retroTECH Lab to interact with vintage technologies, from slide rules to Sega Genesis, as well as emulations of retro platforms on modern devices.
retroTECH supports academic research or course-integrated projects on hardware and software engineering, media archaeology, user experience design, electronic literature, emulation, history of technology and society, digital archives, evolution of game creation, emerging software development, etc. Explore sample course-integrated projects related to video games and the history of user experience.
retroTECH aims to engage the Georgia Tech campus community through events and workshops about the history and future of technology, held in the Lab, elsewhere on campus, and in the Atlanta area. If you’re interested in getting involved in retroTECH programming, attending events and workshops, volunteering, or sharing your expertise, the retroTECH Team would love to talk with you.
