The History of Project Delta
(This is a mirror of the defunct site.)

Project Delta was an incredible learning experience that introduced thousands of Delaware high school students to computing in the 1960's and 70's. Delta was founded on the radical idea that computers in education can be run by the students. At Delta, the students ran the computer, installed the terminals at the schools, improved the operating system, and invented early versions of things like e-mail and on-line chat. This web site is dedicated to recording and preserving the history of Project Delta.
