A family tries their hand at coding

About

Discover fun future technologies and explore playful making, coding, and interactive robotics challenges.

Mission Future Seas features three interactive play stations packed with future Royal Navy tech:

- Design the Ship of Tomorrow – team up with your family to dream up and build the Navy's next great vessel.

- DCTO Robot Challenge – code a mini-robot to explore the seabed and uncover five cutting-edge technologies the Disruptive Capabilities and Technologies Office is developing.

- Can AI Crack the Code? – create your own secret naval message on an LED display… then see if an AI can work out what you've said!

Plus, visit our 3D Print Hub, where a live 3D printer will be creating special take-home tokens all day.

This event is perfect for ages 6 and up!

Workshops will run at 1.45pm to 2.15pm, 2.30pm to 3.00pm, and 3.15pm to 3.45pm, sign up on the day to save your place.

This event is sponsored by the museum's National STEM Programme.
