The perfect family summer day out – an unmissable opportunity for families at the home of the world’s largest collection of historic computers.

The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) invites families to get involved in its Summer STEM Bytes Festival, an exciting and unique celebration of all things computing. Running for over 6 weeks from Tuesday 26th July until Sunday 4th September, the festival offers a fantastic opportunity for kids to get hands-on experience in a diverse selection of computational delights.

TNMOC invites friends and family to join in celebrating Margaret Sale’s life on 18th September.

TNMOC is kicking off two competitions for the summer targeting creatives with a passion for expression through writing and the visual arts. The Young People’s Poetry Competition asks aspiring writers to produce a piece in honour of somebody they feel deserves greater recognition, while Atari Art Re-imagined pays tribute to the pioneering artists and graphics designers who achieved that breakthrough by asking the artists of today to re-interpret a piece of classic Atari box art.

The prestigious Kids In Museums award recognise museums, galleries and heritage sites that provide a great experience for children, young people and families. It is the only museum award to be judged by families.

We’ve been celebrated for our inclusivity and diversity efforts. From holding regular Relaxed Openings that cater for the neurodiverse, to our major efforts to support girls in STEM and the free remote learning packages we have offered to hundreds of underprivileged students during the pandemic.

We now ask for families to share their experiences of visiting the museum with Kids in Museums to support our application!
