In addition to its regular opening hours the Museum of Technology also hosted over 60 public and private events, community activities and tours, including:
* four steam days (April | June | October | December)

* festivals (Folk Day | Food for the Planet Festival | Cambridge Festival | Cambridge Tech Week)
* workshops (printing | engineering)
* STEM education and tours (school and community group visits | Pye History Trust | Open Cambridge)
* museum partnerships: Twilight at the Museums | Summer with the Museums | European Route of Industrial Heritage | SHARE museums
* performances (by Arts Council Now! | Robert Lloyd Parry | Some Voices choir)
* research presentations (Cambridge Industrial Archaeology Group | Association for Industrial Archaeology)

A big thank you to Museum volunteers, hospitality partners, museum partners and staff for making these events so successful!
In 2023 volunteers also provided ‘eye-catching’ painting, signage, digital screens and site maintenance around the Museum’s grounds.
John Little (Chair) and Mike Blackburn (Treasurer) - thank you!
At the Annual General Meeting in December 2023, John Little (Chair) and Mike Blackburn (Treasurer) completed their rotation on the Museum's board of Trustees. A big thank-you to the pair for their many contributions in steering the Museum through a major development, then lockdowns and re-openings!
