Coding Club Latest
Due to lack of interest, Paignton library won't be running a code club.
If anyone is interested in a similar club or a STEM related activities, then I would suggest contacting the STEAM Café at 13 Torbay Road or the Hyperspace Café, in Victoria square, ( AKA Lidl Square ) and express ideas / interest in clubs, workshops etc.

Critical thinking web
With the recent riots in the UK, fueled by misinformation. This link on a Fediverse caught my eye.
Critical thinking web have some Learning modules which combine to make a course:-
These courses and modules would be of interest to students but also anyone who wants to improve their own ability to think and understand the information we are presented (or perhaps bombarded with) on a daily basis, from a wide range of sources.
Follow aggualaqisaaq @aggualaqisaaq@mastodon.sdf.org on Mastodon to get updates or similar resources.
Ii think this fediverse post link is a good example of why we need these skills

New Superheavy Element Synthesis
Interesting post found on Matrix today, :-
New Superheavy Element Synthesis Points to Long-Sought ‘Island of Stability’ you can read more about this in the scientific American article published on 24th September
Seems interesting, as I read a paper a few years ago suggesting element 120 was present in Przybylski's Star. In fact, a number of papers on arXiv have suggested some interesting properties and chemistry.
Here is a link to the Matrix Physics Room where I found the link mentioned above
