Cambridge Rex Runner workshop: what £25.50 includes
Cambridge families can book the Scratch Coding Workshop: Rex Runner for Thursday 27 August 2026 at the Centre for Computing History. The 90-minute session runs from 2pm to 3.30pm and is intended for children aged eight to 12, particularly those working at upper KS2 level.
The workshop costs £25.50 and takes place at Rene Court, Coldhams Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB1 3EW. According to the Visit Cambridge Events listing, previous experience with Scratch will be helpful.
What children will do during the workshop
The session centres on recreating the familiar “broken” Internet T-Rex game using Scratch. Children will work towards a recognisable project during the workshop, learning how to code their own version of the game rather than attending a general introduction without a defined outcome.
The advertised age range covers children from eight to 12. Parents should also note that every participant aged 14 or under must have an accompanying adult present throughout the workshop. That requirement therefore applies to all children within the intended audience.
What the £25.50 ticket includes
The session price covers admission to the museum for one participating child and one accompanying adult. It also includes the kit used for the activity, which the child can take home afterwards.
Although the workshop has a fixed afternoon slot, the ticket permits entry to the Centre for the full day. The museum opens at 10am, so families can visit its exhibits before the coding session starts rather than arriving only for the workshop.
Snacks will be available from the Pac-Lunch Shop, and the event listing says there is plenty of seating for parents. Families should still plan around the requirement for the accompanying adult to remain at the workshop with the child.
Arrival, parking and accessibility details
Teaching begins promptly at 2pm, and the Centre asks participants to arrive at least 15 minutes early. Families should therefore aim to be at the venue by 1.45pm, allowing time to enter before the session starts.
On-site car parking and Blue Badge parking are listed as available. The venue’s advertised accessibility facilities include wheelchair access, a designated wheelchair-accessible public toilet, mostly flat terrain, ear defenders, assistance-dog access and staff available to help. Wi-Fi is also available.
The workshop finishes at 3.30pm. The practical arrangement is one £25.50 ticket covering the participating child, their accompanying adult, museum admission and the take-home kit; booking details are provided through the Visit Cambridge Events listing.
