<p>The next Paignton Library code club is on Saturday 20th May 2023  10 am to 12:00.   We can carry on with what we are doing,</p>

<p>You may have noticed a link to compute-it added to the list of websites, if you&#39;re not sure what this is I have put a brief description below. Some of the young people attending both code club and stem group have used it</p>

<p><code>
Compute IT consists of puzzles where you need to follow the instructions presented in the code displayed on the screen, This stars out simple and gets more complex or involved as you go.`
</code>&#39;</p>

<p>I have added  a video to my peertube resources to illustrate.</p>
