Computing History

Learn how to program an autonomous vehicle. With some Arduino code to control its motors and sensors, you'll have little RumiCar zipping around a racetrack soon. It's a really fun way to code! Book your place here: computinghistory.org.uk/det/75538/Prog… #STEMEducation #CodingFun

Great news! We have confirmation that RJ Mical will be joining us tomorrow virtually for his talk. The wonders of a connected world 🤖

Due to circumstances out of our control RJ Mical will not be attending this weekend's event. We are trying to arrange for him to attend virtually. We are sorry for any disappointment but this weekend still promises to be amazing

It’s time to pop down! Did you know we have an area dedicated to children under 5? Did you also know they get free entry with a paying adult? Your little ones will be learning through play and there’s lots on offer for all age groups. Family trip sorted Open 10-5 on weekends

We're nearly at the school holidays - time for our Summer Opening Hours! You get a whole extra two hours to check out the machines of summers past... *transported back to the Donkey Kong II summer of 1983... #MuseumDaysOut #SummerInCambridge #ComputingHistory
