MSF@MOSI: Game on!

Toy robot

Get your game on at MOSI with whole host of fun interactive activities made possible by computer technology.

Whether you prefer disco, ballroom or hip-hop, take a lesson from the Cyber Coach, a virtual dance teacher who'll have you light on your feet in no time.

Then why not take a virtual trip to a far-flung destination of your choosing, build your own robot, learn the basics of computer programming and get a behind the scenes insight into some innovative technology used by Manchester Airport.

The darker side of computing will also be investigated, with a talk focusing on the issues of computer addiction, anxiety and anger. [Talk starts at 1pm]

Whilst here, don't forget to check out MOSI's replica of the 'Baby' the world’s first stored-program computer, which is still going strong at 63!
