About Us

The Centre for Computing History is an educational charity and museum. We’re on a mission to inspire and educate people of all ages about the social, cultural, and technical impact of computing. Though interactive exhibits, we allow visitors to explore how we went from a few computers the size of a room, to everyone having one in their pockets - in just 80 years!

Last year we welcomed 22,000 visitors including 8,665 young people (3,000 school pupils) for hands-on experiences, workshops, school visits, and public events.

Working closely with our Head of Learning and volunteer team, you’ll design and facilitate engaging workshops in coding, physical computing, and tech heritage. You’ll use accessible technologies like BBC Micro, Raspberry Pi, and Micro:bit to inspire learners aged 7–18 (including school groups) and families.

This role is key to expanding our reach and ensuring more people can access high-quality, creative learning experiences at the museum.
