Code Club 4/12/2021 update

We will carry on with what we were doing last session, hopefully expand on what we were doing with the Micro:bit
In order to try and support this further, I have created a little connector board to help connect components to the Micro:bit computer.
Board and servo. The issue with the servo normally is that connecting to a Micro:bit with croc clips you need a solid connection. If you remove the connector you are simply left with very thin, multi core wire.
This board just bridges the gap, plug the board connector in to the top.
Then connect the crocodile clip(s) to the other set of connectors
A close up of the connection.
Please note: There is nothing special about doing this, I just soldered this up in the hope it may make things easier at code club. The servo could be swapped out for other sensors, for example a moisture sensor.
Update 2/12/2021
I have also created an LED board to go with the overall set of boards being created.

Code Club 20/11/2021 write up
A really productive code club today. Small group, which was split between FreeCodeCamp, Scratch and Micro:bit. I have put some crocodile clips to one side for the next code Club.
So with the Micro:bit, we got an LED to light up, then controlled this with the built in switch, and eventually connected a speaker (which didn't work expected) so we connected a headphones.

Code Club 4/10/2021
I am back at Code Club today, 2nd session since our return. If you are still not sure what Code Club is, then you have clearly being living in a cave since about 2012. Anyway, it is a coding club for children, generally 9-13 years of age.
The Paignton Club is a little more advanced, in that some of the attendees are working through a responsive web design course.
It would be really good to get MORE code clubs in Torbay, and in fact would be really nice if those clubs could collaborate, share expertise, maybe some resources.

Free Code Camp Update 02/10/2020
I have now completed all the modules in the FreeCodeCamp responsive web design course.
Profile can be found here that details the time line for this. I have also updated my LinkedIn profile with this update.
As yet I have ONLY completed the actual modules and have not undertaken the assessment projects. However my intention was to follow the course to help support Paignton Library Code Club anyway.
