This Christmas, we're raising money so that our awesome educational robot JNFR (Jennifer, geddit?) can enjoy a well-earned retirement. Please donate towards a replacement robot if you can - every little helps! 🤖🎄justgiving.com/campaign/reti…

Budding cryptographers busy solving ciphers in our Crack the Code workshop @computermuseum. They all found the chocolate 'treasure' that was hidden around our 80s classroom! This runs again on 15th Aug. And, plenty more to choose from: computinghistory.org.uk/page… #Summer #Cambridge

As a museum we know we need to take action on the environmental cost of tech. We're putting a funding application together so we can, but if we go ahead we'd need your help. Would you help us find and tell these stories? Would you want to be involved? #WorldEnvironmentDay

Synthesized is taking shape! We've got a stack of Emulators, the Juno 106 used by Frankie Goes to HollyWood #FGTH, synths from 1971's ARP 2600 to the just released Arturia PolyBrute 12. Oh and a 1940s cipher machine making music. That's just the beginning! computinghistory.org.uk/det/…

Kids squabbling about who went in to who's room? A little bit of know-how, a Pi Pico, an LED, a buzzer and a tripwire can stop the arguments. Join our Pico Spy workshop, tomorrow 2pm. We'll provide everything they need and the whole kit is theirs to keep computinghistory.org.uk/det/…
