The National Museum of Computing Bytes Festival family fun marches onwards for another year! Sponsored by Ensoft, Bytes festivals have become the go-to Milton Keynes event for youngsters wanting creative fun during the school holidays.
From Minecraft to Lego and Raspberry Pis to BBC Micro: bits, there is plenty to unlock imaginations, inspire and entertain. In workshops, running throughout the Easter break, STEM ambassadors and the experienced museum volunteers will guide youngsters in developing weird and wonderful devices and applications. Any youngster with a knack for coding or engineering will be in tech heaven; coding handheld masterpieces, using videogames to craft their own worlds and due to a special new exhibit - a chance to see and copy the Heath-Robinson cartoons with modern machines.
So, don’t despair of what to do with the kids on those long easter afternoons, there is lots of educational creative fun to be had six days a week at The National Museum of Computing. One session will lead to more…
