About This Event

The STEAM Bytes festival at the National Museum of Computing in Milton Keynes will bring STEAM family activities for the whole family, with free access to the rest of the museum. The festival takes place on 15 August 2026 from 10:00.

STEAM Family Activities! Fun for the whole family. Plus free access to the rest of the Museum!

Introducing our NEW STEAM Family Activities!

Fun for the Whole Family ~ includes full Museum access

Join us for exciting STEAM activities the whole family can enjoy! Explore the Museum and be inspired by our hands-on, interactive sessions.

Our educational STEAM activities are a must-visit event, perfect for children (and parents) looking for creative fun during school holidays. We have a wide range of activities planned (both screen/non-screen based) so there's something for everyone to enjoy and plenty to captivate kids throughout the holidays.

Come for the educational fun and stay for the endless possibilities. Dive into coding, programming, design, arts, crafts and so much more!

Each day has a morning and afternoon session with two planned activities in adjoining rooms… leaving lots of time to explore the Museum and play in our Retro Gaming area!

Plus, ‘Are you Game?’...... Ready, set, stack! We’re looking for the fastest fingers and sharpest minds to take on Tetris Tumble XL! We will give you 3 minutes on the clock to stack as many blocks as possible. They must then stand, without help, for 5 seconds.

The players who top the leaderboard with the most blocks stacked by August 30th 2026 will be placed in a draw to win a free family day ticket to visit anytime over the next 12 months.

Please note that adult supervision is required at all times.

Child entrance fee for these sessions includes 1 x STEAM session and entrance to the Museum.

All accompanying adults must also purchase tickets for entry to the Museum.
