Babbage Difference Engine made with LEGO
A mechanical programmable computer designed in the 19th century - now buildable using standard Lego parts.
I was fortunate to have Allan Bromley as a lecturer in my undergrad days. He was good at it too, one of the very best. He's missed.

Ditto on what you said about Allan Bromley. The course where the final project was build a computer. We had to come up with the logic design a q quite low level for a simple but still flexible computer.
Thought he did say that he thought the main benefit students would get from the Digital Design course was seeing through computer salsemen's bullshit.
