Supporting students Post 16The Centre supports Learning at all ages and is an excellent resource for students studying beyond the age of 16. We welcome groups from Sixth forms, Further Education and Higher Education. The collection is particularly beneficial for those studying a Computing related course (eg A Level Computer Science) and we will make every effort to tailor your experience according to your interests. Schools and Sixth form colleges can book a visit through our normal booking process. Students post 18, such as University groups, should make contact with us at: education@computinghistory.org.uk to discuss your particular needs and arrangements. |
