The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) covers the 110 years of history of Instituto Superior Técnico, through its past, present and future objects.

A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.

A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.

Today’s episode (#55) – 15th July 2022: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – The Spectrum at Técnico.

Spectrum is a microcomputer that delighted an entire generation of young people in the 1980s. It was released in 1982 for leisure purposes, and four years later it became an essential teaching tool in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Técnico. A device was created from the original ZX Spectrum console, which included several components mounted on a wooden board: a cassette player/recorder, an electrical transformer, a triple socket, two electrical switches and a hand-made circuit board. Eight similar models were made and used for data acquisition, working with various types of computers, machines and robots.
