What is a Home Educator day?

Our bespoke Home Educator days are created for families with non-school learners, giving them the opportunity to explore the Museum together and take part in specially-designed workshops. Our Home Educator days are accessible to visitors with special educational needs, including autism. The Museum will be closed to the public with quiet areas set aside especially for you.

What is The National Museum of Computing?

Step into the living story of computing at TNMOC, where the world’s largest collection of historic computers whirs, clicks, and comes alive. Your journey begins with the groundbreaking code-breaking machines that helped win WWII, winds through the age of mainframes, and traces the revolution of personal computing that put technology in every home and pocket. From the first flickers of electronic computing to today’s digital world, every machine tells a chapter in our shared technical heritage.

Please see the schedule below for more details. All activities are offered as drop-in sessions so learners can self-direct without the pressure of a formal schedule. .

What people say about our Home Educator Days:

“My sons had a super time, the interactive activities were great and kept them both engaged. Your team were most helpful and great with the children."

__"__Book it and Go… even ‘Miss 13’ was engaged!"

“They obviously loved the gaming areas […] The staff in the BBC area were lovely. In fact, the tips about getting children coding have already been implemented and they have been using the site that was recommended. My husband wants to come next time!”

“It was very relaxed and all the staff and volunteers were so helpful! Really suited our children’s way to learn and engage with people.”

“My seven-year-old and my friend’s two boys had a wonderful time and I really appreciated the opportunity for them to enjoy something they would otherwise find quite challenging.”
