How To Build Your Own LEGO Turing Machine


In honor of Alan Turing’s hundredth birthday, Davy Landman, Jereon van den Bos, and Paul Klint built a Turning Machine out of LEGOs. And if you like, you can build one too.

You can buy the LEGOS on the web, and the three Dutch researchers have posted the machine’s software to GitHub, the popular code repository and software version control service.

“The beauty of the Turing Machine is that it is conceptually a very simple device,” Landman tells Wired.
