Learn to use the 13th-century astrolabe

Title:
Learn to use the 13th-century astrolabe
Speaker:
Tom Wujec
Description:

Rather than demo another new technology, Tom Wujec reaches back to one of our earliest but most ingenious devices -- the astrolabe. With thousands of uses, from telling time to mapping the night sky, this old tech reminds us that the ancient can be as brilliant as the brand-new.
