Home Educators Day

At The National Museum of Computing, voted one of England's 'Top 100 Irreplaceable Places', the evolution of Computing will unfold before your eyes. You will journey from the early electro-mechanical code breaking machines of WWII and the world's first entirely digital semi-programmable computer, to the advent of mainframes in the 1950s and the rise of personal computing, mobile computing and the internet towards the end of the 20th century. Home to the world's largest collection of working historic computers, our fantastic team of friendly and knowledgeable volunteers are on hand to demonstrate the plethora of operational machines in our unrivalled collection. We look forward to welcoming you!

This is a special day organised to enable home educators to explore the museum and take part in activities that are available to school groups. The content of the museum is best suited to students aged 10 years and older. There are additional activities for accompanying younger students including a family back pack and 'Osmo' learning games.

All activities on this day are included in your ticket price. Sign up to tours and workshops on the day by arriving to the session 10 minutes before the start. Spaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis. These will include sessions using Sphero Bolt robots, Primes in Encryption, Chatbot Turing Tests and more...

You are free to explore the museum at your pace. There will be guides on hand to support your learning.
