At the Northwest Computer Museum, we believe technology should be hands-on, fun, and accessible to everyone. Our mission is to preserve the history of computing while sparking curiosity and creativity in visitors of all ages.

Step inside our museum and you’ll find over 70 working computers — from the 1970s to today — all powered on and ready to explore. Play classic games, write code on a BBC Micro, see an Apple I replica, and discover how these machines shaped the world we live in.

But we are more than just a museum. We are a community hub for learning. Every month, we welcome schools, youth groups, and families to learn about programming, electronics, and the evolution of technology. Our dream is to create a dedicated Education Suite where young people can get hands-on experience with coding, robotics, and engineering — inspiring the next generation of engineers, programmers, and innovators.

To make this dream a continuing reality, we need your help.

We rely on donations to:

* Keep our doors open and admission affordable

* Maintain and restore rare and historic machines

* Build new interactive exhibits

* Deliver workshops that make technology come alive for students

Every pound you give brings us closer to a future where computing history is preserved and shared, and where young minds are inspired to shape tomorrow’s technology.

Please donate today — and if you can, share this page with friends, family, and colleagues. Together, we can keep the history of computing alive and inspire the innovators of the future.
