Some 45 years ago, a team of staff and students at Wellington Polytechnic designed and built a desktop computer with an operating system customised for the needs of New Zealand schools.
The Poly-1 was designed in 1980 as a learning device and teacher support tool.
Mark Rickerby is a lecturer at the University of Canterbury's School of Product Design and joins Emile Donovan to discuss what we can learn from the Poly-1.
