Activities
We are a bring your own projects group. As a result we have space for you to work on your own projects.
You are welcome to bring laptops to carry on working on Code Club related activities or we can try and supply a laptop that will be Running Debian and NOT WINDOWS.
Paignton Library room 12 has :-
- Floor based electrical sockets
- A sink & Running water plus small work area
- Fridge (we can at least store food / drinks in here if need be for sessions)
- Access to library WI-FI
- Monitors
Some ideas :-
Note Some activities will need to be planned and prepared in advance, for example preparation of solutions, materials etc. Other activities take time e.g Crystal growing so my span multiple sessions.
Chemistry
Completed
* Sand Box Craters – August (done)
* Bubbles – August**
Planned (September

STEM kits
- We have several STEM kits that have been donated, these also include line following robots, they need to be built.
As the primary aim is to bring your own projects. I have some of my own ideas, mostly around chemistry, I would like to start working on.
