So more of the same, Scratch, HTML/CSS, Python. I am looking to start also running through the BASH command line series at some point. I have some netbooks set up for this, so there can be a practical element to learning too.
These videos were part of the cybersecurity series. However this is now being refactored in to a more comprehensive series about using the GNU/Linux command line, bash scripting, text editing and more.

Code Club 4/6/2022 Write up
A quiet but productive session today about four young people, plus one parent. We did more work on Free code camp – responsive web design, had a few problems with the browser not displaying the page properly.
Also had more scratch, and new attendee started off fixing a game, partly as it was difficult to jump, so looking at the source code we changed how the sprite was displayed in order to jump in the game. So something good to build on next tine, along with some work on Hour of Code. Nice thing about doing our own thing is we can start at a slower pace and work up.
I am planning on running through some of the BASH command line videos, then look at shell scripting at some point. In fact, I am in the process of installing xebian on 4 netbooks, so we can do this and have a proper GNU/Linux box to work on. The browser based virtual console is great, but doesn't do everything needed.

Code Club 4/6/2022
Next code club is 4th June. I have set up some more Scratch accounts, as well as printing off some more of the co-ordinate guides for Scratch, these help us work out where to place sprites on the stage area.
I have also created a small project to help with this too.
Note this will work in Chrome but not in Firefox.

Code Club 21/5/2022 Write up
We had a quieter code club today, 3 attendees, however it was rather productive. Some excellent work on scratch, work on FreeCodeCamp, who seem to have recently rewritten the responsive web design course, never the less we made progress with the new course, and also some HTML / CSS work with Replit.
I have created some more Scratch accounts for us to use at Code Club, even though I encourage people to create their own.

Code Club 21/5/2022
The next Club will be on Saturday 21st May 2022 @ Paignton Library.
We will carry on with what we have been undertaking at previous sessions, hopefully do more with the Lego WeDo and Python.
I have also been working on a series of posts on this website to introduce different topics, the eventual aim of this will be to lead to posts about cybersecurity. So the series starts off with some videos (not mine, but they are an excellent introduction) to the BASH shell.

Code Club 7/5/2022 Write up
We had a quiet code club today, only 3 people turned up, nevertheless it was quite productive as the two young people and their mum who came were working with Roblox and we had a short discussion around Roblox studio and what they do at school with regard to coding. As we can't install anything on the computers, they were using online resources.
