About the Organization and Opportunity
Organization: The Rhode Island Computer Museum (RICM) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization established in 1999 in Rhode Island to preserve our rich vintage computer history and offer a glimpse of the past. RICM's mission statement is "procuring and preserving items that relate to computer science and its history; disseminating knowledge, and encouraging research in computer science by means of visits, lectures, discussions, and publications. Inspiring young people for the future workforce by saving old and new technology."
Opportunity: Our "Learning Lab" is jam-packed with amazing technological artifacts, generously donated by our members from all over the world. We are dedicated to bringing these bits and bytes of history to light for people to see and use. You can visit us for a tour, and we also loan our artifacts to filmmakers. You can see our vintage tech in "Mad Men, Hidden Figures," "Maniac," "Halt and Catch Fire," "The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, Severance” and many other productions. Our Mission is to be: "A Knowledge Center to inspire young people for the future workforce by saving old and new technology!"
