Holidays are here! What better way to spend our holidays than to have fun while discovering the wonders of technology with some #Techtivities? 🤩
Starting off with a #TechFact, did you know that computer pioneer Alan Turing was born on June 23, 1912? A genius in his field, he helped crack the "unbreakable" Enigma code, shortening the war by 2 years!
Turing is best-known today for his work on the idea of a "universal computer," one that could run any program. This has since become known as a "Turing Machine."
Now that we’re learnt a new titbit, keep scrolling on to discover techtivities that you and your family can indulge in this month! ✨
