Raspberry Pi Physical Computing Workshop: Pico Microcontroller

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 postcode for Bletchley Park will actually take you to an old entrance which is closed.

Ticket prices are based on Museum Admission. About This Workshop: The brand new Raspberry Pi Pico is a tiny, fast, and versatile microcontroller chip (that can store and run your code) designed by Raspberry Pi in the UK. In this Physical Computing Workshop, participants will use the Raspberry Pi Pico Microcontroller in conjunction with MicroPython to create a &#x27;digital firefly&#x27; that uses an LED. As we will be working in Python for this session (which means there will be a bit of typing!), it is better suited to slightly older coders who are more comfortable with a keyboard. Workshop participants will be the first to experience this brand new Raspberry Pi session using the Pico Microcontroller, which is being delivered as an exclusive &#x27;first look&#x27; at TNMOC. Terms and Conditions <ul><li>This workshop is designed for children in KS3 (aged 11+). </li><li>Children MUST be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the workshop.</li><li>Each adult attending the workshop to supervise a child MUST purchase an &#x27;Accompanying Adult Ticket.&#x27; </li><li>Your workshop ticket includes full admission to the Museum, allowing you to explore and be inspired by our extraordinary collection whilst you are here. </li></ul>To answer any questions or for further information, please contact Emily Wager, our Events and Communications Officer, at emily.wager@tnmoc.org.
