Helen Whitty and Kevin Sumption work in two different sections of the largest museum in Australia-the Powerhouse Museum. As part of its diverse and large collection is the field of Information Technology. It is a collecting field and also a method of interpretation in the museum. Helen and Kevin have worked together on projects trying to make information technology more accessible to the general public especially student groups. These projects include the Information Technology Centre and lately the online interactive educational resource AT&T Virtual Classroom Race Across Time.
