The centre, a result of funding from the Heritage Lottery, was recently visited by HRH Duchess of Cambridge who was escorted on her tour of Bletchley Park by Sir John Scarlett, Chairman of the Bletchley Park Trust, and Iain Standen, Chief Executive Officer of the Bletchley Park Trust and Paul Gartside, Vice President of McAfee Product Development.
The partnership, the largest in McAfee’s history outside of the US, will see McAfee sponsor an international Cyber Security Exhibition and Computer Learning Zone, located in Block C of Bletchley Park, which is currently being restored and is soon to open as the new Visitor Centre.
The partnership brings together two organisations highly committed to keeping people of all ages safe online. Workshops will be run at the new Computer Learning Zone to engage, inspire and educate visitors about the ever-evolving cyber threat. Children and adults alike will learn how the breathtaking achievements of the World War Two Codebreakers remain relevant today.
The onsite learning will be supported by McAfee’s Online Safety for Kids programme, which will see McAfee staff volunteer to teach safety courses and provide schools, children, and parents with helpful tips and information on safely navigating cyberspace. In addition, McAfee is sponsoring an Online Safety Education Officer, who will provide e-learning strategies, advice and training.
