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,
You may have noticed a link to compute-it added to the list of websites, if you'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
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.`

I have added a video to my peertube resources to illustrate.

Code Club 6/5/2023 Write up
We had a lower turnout today, probably due to the coronation. Nevertheless we were actually very productive.
A new member started off with the Free code camp course on scientific computing, which is mostly video with Q&A. This really good, but not very interactive so we moved on to the Code Club Python activities
Using trinket to create a program to simulate rolling a dice
This worked much better, so we they are going to carry on at home, them come back next week to the STEM group.

GNU / Linux BASH
This is something that once mastered can be very beneficial
Python
Web Site Creation

New code club browser editor – Testing
Code Club have created a new in browser code editor, which we can try and test at code club.
More information can be found here
While this is in testing, this is a really important part of the software development process, so being able to test software is just as important as writing software.

The next Paignton Library code club is on Saturday 15th April 2023 10 am to 12:00. We can carry on with what we are doing, new members welcome as there are resources for beginners to more experienced user.
I have included a link to the GNU/Linux command line BASH shell tutorials,
If you would like to start undertaking more with Python, we have 4 copies of the Python for beginners book on the shelf, and there is a copy in the Library which can be borrowed. The Pis and laptops / netbooks do have Python installed. But it may just be easier to get a Repl.it account
Going further, the two laptops I gave out on the 7th have the GoDot game engine installed, this is for creating more advanced games, the main language for this is GD Script.
For those of you working on Responsive web design then this seems to be going really well.
There are also some contests you can get involved with, some of these are listed below.

Paignton Library code club is picking up nicely, lots of cool stuff going on.
The core code club activities are still available. If you have been Scratch or other block based coding for a while then you may want to start looking at the next stage. which could be useful if starting with the Raspberry Pi.
