Gaming on the Go opens 26 March at the Museum of Computing in Swindon -
we'll have the new 3DS. Our kids club gave it 10 out of 10 when they

May 14 Museums at Night - Overnight Games Programming Challenge
8pm to midnight.
Remember the 1980's when the Sinclair Spectrum and Commodore 64 were
deadly rivals? This was a time when anybody with a talent for
programming could write cool games in their bedroom and make a million!
No programming experience is needed, our resident experts will guide you
through the process of creating your dream game.
Admission is £6 which will include the staple diet of programmers
everywhere, pizza and cola. Pre-booking required -
