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.

Code Club 19/8/2023 Write up
So this week, we started the attendees with more Hour of Code activities. We are slowly starting to move towards learning text based programming languages and away from Scratch.
The hour of code activities allow for block programming but the resulting block code be viewed as java based code which is really useful for building that link.
In order to support this I had a go at Mario secret advantures which helps to build some of the many important features of gaming, movement, collision, scoring etc.
I have just made a video and uploaded to peer tube, my system is a little slow so I have left out the music part, but the main point of this exercise is to use loops to reduce code needed.
Next code club 2nd September.
