Digital Futures: National STEAM Day

The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) is home to the world's largest collection of working historic computers.Follow the development of computing: from the Turing-Welchman Bombe and Colossus of the 1940s through the large systems and mainframes of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, to the rise of personal computing and the rise of mobile computing and the internet.Recognised as one of England’s top 100 ‘irreplaceable places’, we welcome corporate and group visits, schools and individuals from all over the world.We are normally open Tuesday to Friday 10:30 -17:00, Saturday & Sunday 10:30 – 17:00. Please check tickets for actual opening days and times.TNMOC operates independently of Bletchley Park Trust, although we are located on the Bletchley Park Estate.To visit us, go through the main Bletchley Park entrance, through the barrier, walk or drive bearing left beyond the main car parks, to our separate entrance located at the top of the Park.Visit their website here for more information.https://www.tnmoc.org/Sat Nav users: please use the postcode for the railway station MK3 6DS on Sherwood Drive and then follow signs.

The National Museum of Computing

About This Event: We often think of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) as independent subjects. Here at The National Museum of Computing, we consider technology as a tool to enhance each of these. In this fun-filled educational day, learners will develop digital skills through application in key areas to build depth of understanding across STEAM subjects. Inspire young people to explore the limitless possibilities of a digital future while supporting participants in realising their full potential and considering careers in Computing. Programme:Science: Data storage Data storage has come a long way in the last 70 years. In this explorative session, learners will engage with our historic collection to build an understanding of how science has impacted the world of data storage.Technology: Programming Languages From 5-hole punch tape to Python! Explore how technology, and programming languages, have progressed over the decades and solve puzzles using them to develop depth of understanding and choose your favourite.Engineering: Marble-powered computing machinesBuild an understanding of the internal machinations of computers by building your own marble-powered binary calculator! This hands-on session explores computer engineering and binary calculations.Arts: Build your own Snapchat filters Explore Art and Technology in this student-led, creative session using the power of Snapchat to Augment Reality.Maths: Development of mathematical instruments Slide rules to electronic calculators; learn and apply your newfound understanding of mathematical instruments in this practical workshop by using historic mathematical instruments to solve problems.And more...Timings:09:30 - 15:30hrsLocation:The National Museum of Computing Block H, Bletchley Park, Bletchley, Milton Keynes MK3 6DS.
