Living With Tech: Atari Women & Beyond

The Living With Tech: Atari Women & Beyond event at Living Computers Museum + Labs in May brought to light the stories of women who worked on video games in the 1980s. Combining historical industry research, oral history interviews, and makerspace methodology with University of Washington Human Centered Design & Engineering student work, the program and pop-up exhibit broadened our understanding of who contributed to this vital and creative time for popularizing video games, from the arcades to people’s homes.
