Barcamp London XII
At BarCamp, a group of enthusiastic people gather to share their knowledge about technology and anything else they are interested in. They do this by attending presentations given by other attendees - and giving presentations themselves, of course. A BarCamp presentation can be as formal or informal as you like. You can go to any session you like, and if you don't find a session interesting, you can leave and go to another.
Date and Venue
Date: 11 Nov 2023 Venue: The London Academy of Excellence, N17 0BX

STEM Group 9th September 2023
From September the STEM group will start to focus more on the Science, Technology, Engineering and maths, rather than computing which can be done at Code Club,
As a result, we will be in Room 12, so that we have access to the Science and other equipment stored there. The IT learning centre will be CLOSED.
I have a few activity ideas in mind based on what happened in August.
Please get in touch for further details. I will also post a update to what is planned shortly.
