The Turing Machine: How Alan Turing Turned Abstract Ideas into Computing Reality 🤖

In 1936, Alan Turing imagined an abstract model to define what used to be an intuitive notion: the calculability. This model is today known as the Turing machine and is still used in theorical computer science to solve calculability problems.<br />At the occasion of Alan Turing's centenary, Masters students in fundamental computer sciences of the "Ecole Normale Supérieure", located in Lyon (France), pay homage to him through the building of a Turing machine in Lego.<br />A film by Christophe Gombert and Hugo Deboise.
