Code Club 4/11/2023 WriteUp
We had a busy code club today. Lots of fixing netbooks, installing operating systems, troubleshooting and of course some coding.
We also had attendees working on their own projects, including a Pokemon related projects.
I also assisted another attendee with an electronics project.
So we now have several netbooks, that are fully working and managed to transfer keyboards over so they also had full keyboards. Replaced a missing key on some other keyboards, which is quite a delicate takes that requires a good degree of patience.
What we need now is to find STEM ambassador help us make a multi boot usb stick so all the installers can be on a single usb stick which will free up the others. I know this can be done, just not sure how to do it, or how to fix things if it doesn't work.

The next code club is on 18/11/2023
Next week 11th November is the STEM group meeting.

I now have 2x RescaTux boot disks and 1x Gparted boot disk to add to our tool kit. These may be really useful for fixing netbooks etc. Note : Gparted is also included on the rescatux disk
Replacement PSU for netbooks should be this
Power : 40w
Voltage : 19.5
Current 2.05 A thus supplies 2.1 A

Code Club 7/10/2023 Write up
We had four of the regulars today. It was a mix of coding in Scratch but also sorting out some of the netbooks, trying to download Win 7 and get this copied on to a memory stick so we can install. First attempt to dd the iso file failed, second attempted worked but ended up with the device not booting or being seen by the netbook.
So a good session.

Code Club 7/10/2023 reminder
The next Paignton Library code club is on Saturday 7th October 2023, 10 am to 12:00. We will carry on with with the Code Club and hour of code projects and hopefully also the Python Projects.
We are also probably going to be making more use of Repl.it too as we can use that for collaborating on projects or at least inviting other users to our projects which is really useful generally but does encourage collaboration. We have a team on there anyway so we can make more use of that.

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.
