Code Club 16/9/2023 Write up

We had a rather busy code club today, a really good turn out and we had a good mix of Python, Scratch and Hour of Code activities. I tried to help people that needed help.

We also had a look at some of the donated laptops and gave one of those out, we were also downloading some drivers for windows 7 so one of the attendees could install on the laptop I gave away a while back. Hopefully people can get their laptop working from that.

Had a quick explanation as to what the Raspberry Pi is.

Hopefully by the next session on 7th October, the library can recruit some more help as I certainly need support with regard to coding or at least using Python etc. I can only go so far with the text based coding stuff before I get really stuck.

I will find some copies of the posters, as I didn't get a chance to get contact details of one of the parents so I can send a link to them. I kinda got distracted with helping other people.

It would be useful to get more code clubs in Torbay and ideally be able to collaborate with them too.

Next session Saturday 7th October.
