Sign up is free, and there is lots of help on the Forums. You can also use websites such as Repl.it further develop any projects. Code can be copied from FCC to Repl.it for personalised editing. Why have a CatApp when you can have other subjects.
Code club today was very productive, we had 8 young people attending all of whom were engaged in either Scratch or the Free Code Camp (FCC) curriculum.
We have now moved on to CSS, and we had one attendee starting with HTML. So in all, this course is actually proving to be popular.
Certificates have been awarded for the completion of the HTML module.
Good to see Ryan again and he lent his expertise too.
Next week is the South Devon Tech Jam – (14/3/2020) from 11 till 15:00. The week after we are back to code club (21/3/2020)
Hopefully, I will have figured out, why, when I log in to FCC at the library, it doesn't show my progress. Not that it matters too much.
The next Code Club will be Tomorrow: Saturday 1st February at Paignton Library and information Centre.
Carrying on from what we were doing on 18/1/2020, If anyone is interested in the Hour Of Code activity, we can have a go at that too.
More Scratch 3.0 coding, which is great and a good starting point before moving on to other programming languages.
Rocksndiamonds. which I hope we can eventually use to learn level layout.
We can also take a look at the Tech Pledge. See what people think about this as an idea to make the internet a nicer place. I will have copies printed out.
Also hope to get some feedback and input on my e-safety for coding website project that I am working on in repl.it .
Today at Code Club we had 8 attendees, which is a really good So we had more scratch, and did some more work on the website project.
There was some interest in Micro:bits but not that much. This is something for future sessions. Or even a dedicated session at the library for this. Which may work better.
I also trying and get a Lego Mindstorms Robot built, but this takes time.
We also had Lucy, from the Tech Jam drop in and this resulted in a few e-mail between myself and Lucy go discuss learning platforms.
