Organised by Lou
A day-long, mainly hands-on session at the National Museum of Computing in Bletchley.
This will suit children with an interest in computing, maths and the development of computing. Further details to come later.
This visit is will be divided into two sub-groups:
Upper KS2-KS3 group: 9-13 year olds. (The usual minimum age for the National Museum of Computing is 10yrs. 9yrs is concession)
KS4/GCSE group: 12-16 year olds. This group is particularly suitable for those studying GCSE computing and/or maths.(although they do not have to be working towards an exam, it’s an indication of the level)
The activities for the day (in rotation) are:
- Codes and ciphers maths session, with tour of the PC gallery and games
- Coding on Raspberry Pis with Fuze
- Coding on BBC Micros
Please book for the AGE that your child is. The two groups will be doing the same kind of activity, it’s just so that they have a better chance of social interaction – particularly for the teens, where there tends to be structured HE activities for them, than for younger children.
Attending parents are actively encouraged to participate in the tour and hands-on session alongside their children.
Accompanying adults and non-participating siblings will also be fully chargeable due to TNMC’s capacity and charging policy.
Parents are responsible for their own children on this trip. If you wish to send your 11yr+ child unaccompanied OR if you wish to bring a younger sibling, please check prior to booking.
Overall spaces are limited.
You’ll need to bring a packed lunch.
Price for both children and adults £14.43 (if paying by personal PayPal transfer, or £15.14 if paying via the website)
Please note that although the National Museum of Computing is physically inside Bletchley Park, admission to Bletchley Park itself is not included.
Please pay by personal PayPal transfer to: events[at]educationista [dot] com Or, you may also make a personal PayPal payment via www.paypal.me/eventseducationista (please DON’T tick the “paying for goods or services” box)

If you have successfully sent your booking, a little green message to that effect will appear at the bottom of the page and you’ll get an email from the website.

Bookings

Hi Lou
Do I need to pay as an observing adult – ie, not requiring a seat as such? Happy to if required but the boys will need someone with them (aspergers in one and undiagnosed – on purpose austism in the other)… let me know.

Hi Ruth,
Yes, all accompanying adults need to pay. There is an overall capacity and a fixed price for this. So non-paying people (adults or children) will result in everyone else’s costs being higher.
Therefore, everyone who goes in will have to pay the same price.
Thx
Lou
I would like my daughter aged 9 to attend this however she has a younger brother aged 5 we are happy for her to go in with everyone else. whilst we look around? would this be possible?
The museum itself is actually closed that day.
