Just a few days to go to our next Bring n Byte sale. All proceeds from the museum table go to the running of the museum. So come on down, and grab some goodies, and help the museum to thrive. We are also welcoming other sellers too. #sale #RetroEvents #Cambridge #bargain

We're nearly at the school holidays - time for our Summer Opening Hours! You get a whole extra two hours to check out the machines of summers past... *transported back to the Donkey Kong II summer of 1983... #MuseumDaysOut #SummerInCambridge #ComputingHistory

Due to circumstances out of our control RJ Mical will not be attending this weekend's event. We are trying to arrange for him to attend virtually. We are sorry for any disappointment but this weekend still promises to be amazing

Learn how to program an autonomous vehicle. With some Arduino code to control its motors and sensors, you'll have little RumiCar zipping around a racetrack soon🏎️. It's a really fun way to code🖥️!
