Life on Venus?
Life on Venus? MIT’s “Absolutely Surprising” Discovery of Amino Acid Stability
Interesting article and this seems to follow on nicely from the Di Methyl Sulfide discovery a while back.
Not sure what sort of life would exist on Venus, or perhaps may do at a later date in the future but the discovery of basic building blocks, esp of Amino Acids is important and may help us look for life on other planets & moons in the solar system or exo-planets and exo-moons around other stars.

Robot car 4 (updates)
I have now re-built the Robot car, using an acrylic sheet material for the chassis, different wheels and also used hot glue to secure everything together more securely.
The other difference is that I also used hot glue to put this together.
The micro:bit car is also now working. Only using some basic example code at the moment.,

STEM Group 23rd March 2024 Write up
Good session today, more updates from Helen. More work on the Lenovo, but we decided that it really does need a bigger hard disk. We also need the installation media for the next meeting on the 6th April.
Did more work with Scratch and some coding in the afternoon.
The sessions need much more structure, so we can plan better what we are going to do, and therefore what to bring in terms of resources.
Next event 6th April
