From Minecraft to OSMO, BBC micro:bits to Robotics kits, there is plenty to do to unlock imaginations, inspire and entertain. Educational fun for all the family, providing Bytes sized tasters of coding, robotics, augmented reality, virtual reality and much much more!The National Museum of Computing is proud to present its new and improved STEM Bytes programme, running at the weekends and throughout all school holidays<ul><li>The activities are aimed at children aged 5+</li><li>ALL our stem activities are FREE with entrance to the Museum</li></ul>Please note that these hands-on activities are not drop-off events. Parental supervision and engagement is required at all times.Sphero BoltsThe Sphero Bolt is the latest in a line of programmable Sphero toys designed to teach kids coding. The toys work alongside the Sphero Edu app to teach basic concepts through a block-based visual language, much like Scratch, or – for more advanced students – through JavaScript. We encourage families to explore these fabulous kits together.Turing Tumble -Build marble-powered computersTuring Tumble is a revolutionary new game where players (ages 8 to adult) build mechanical computers powered by marbles to solve logic puzzles. It’s fun, addicting, and while you’re at it, you discover how computers work.Oculus VR - Age Recommendation: 13 years up What not try 3D virtual reality experiences where you can visit a space station, take rollercoaster rides, or defuse a bomb, plus many other exciting activities..BBC Micro:Bit drop-in sessionsThe BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that you can code, customise and control to bring your digital ideas, games and apps to life. The BBC micro:bit can do all sorts of things, like detect motion and tell you which direction you’re heading in, and it can use a low-energy Bluetooth connection to interact with other devices and the internet and communicate with other micro:bits - the real fun is letting kids discover all the things nobody told them they could do! In these sessions, children can learn to code from pre-constructed challenges and tasks that are designed to promote logical, creative thinking. We have a range of challenges suitable for all ages.Raspberry PiUnderstand how a computer works and learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python using an extraordinary credit-card sized Raspberry Pi computer, which simply plugs into a computer monitor or TV.Please note that these hands-on activities are not drop-off events. Parental supervision and engagement is required at all times.
