This was posted on my main blog as part of a code club post. As this is closely tied in with the STEM group. I am just sharing the information here too.
There is a young coders contest coming up in 2023, that runs from January to May. The video below is from the 2022 contest
Hopefully by the 17th they will have the registration form available.
There is also Youth Hacking 4 freedom however you have until 31st December 2022 to sign up, so if you are interested please do so ASAP.
In addition Prospects Brixham have an upcoming contest / competition centred around data and data science. Please see website and get in touch directly.
Please note The above are independent of both the STEM Group and Code Club. As the STEM Group is for sharing / working on projects then this provides a place to meet up and work with others on related projects.
Expanded Functional groups in Organic Chemistry
Compound Chemistry have some really good resource. From time to time some of these are expanded with even more information.
Adds some more functional groups what is already a really good resource.
The next meeting of the Paignton Library STEM Group is this Saturday 10th December 2022, 11am to 15:00 Tomorrow
The purpose of the Paignton Library STEM Group is to encourage and support participation in STEM subjects. Our event aims to create a friendly hub for STEM enthusiasts to share, collaborate and learn. Please do bring your personal STEM projects to the event, we would love to see what you are working on.
We should be have a mixed bag of activities. In addition to the usual coding that carries on from Paignton Library Code Club
I have prepared *:-
Chemistry Activity on Reaction Rates (Depends on what extra help I can get.)
Building Nucleobases with Molymods – Possibly supports GCSE Biology
I found details of a Young coders competition on the stem website that could be something to get involved with, as it would span both Code Club and STEM group.
Feb
We have a civil engineering challenge / talk in February
European Antibiotic Awareness Day
When: Nov 18, 2022 from 09:00 to 17:00 (BST)
Associated with Careers, Clubs and Cross-Curricular
The European Antibiotic Awareness Day is an annual European public health initiative that takes place on 18 November to raise awareness about the threat to public health of antibiotic resistance and the importance of prudent antibiotic use. The latest data confirms that across the European Union the number of patients infected by resistant bacteria is increasing and that antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health.
The coding contest Youth Hacking 4 Freedom launches its second edition
The registration for the second edition of “Youth Hacking 4 Freedom ", the FSFE’s hacking competition for teenagers from all over Europe, has started. This contest offers young people aged between 14 and 18 the opportunity to challenge themselves, meet like-minded people and win cash prizes.
We don't have GoDOT at the Library, but you can bring your own laptop and have a go. I can look in to installing it on the Code Club laptop if there is interest.

Some sort of Science / Chemistry practical (possibly reaction rates from last month
Basic + Advanced Scratch – If you have a Scratch account please bring the login details, we are NOT able to keep work between sessions.
There is a mountain of myths surrounding the engineering profession – particularly the role of women within the industry. You can read the Open Learn article here
