UK Nuclear fusion plant
Nuclear fusion plant to be built at West Burton A power station.
This sounds like a really exciting development and should hopefully help the UK take the lead in a clean and sustainable energy resource.
This is also an excellent reason, regardless of where you live to study STEM. While this plant is not due to start until 2040. This is only 18 years away, so if you are heading in to year 7, then by the time you have obtained a post graduate or other hi-tech qualification you should be employable within this industry.

Railway line safety.
This was on BBC TV Breakfast this morning, start of a campaign to warn of dangers of trespassing on the railway,
The railway is full of hidden dangers. When you trespass on the railway there are serious and catastrophic consequences for you, your loved ones, rail staff, and communities as a whole.

DART Plantary Defense Test
While NASA has been busy with the Artemis mission to the moon, which has been subject to technical setbacks, more recently a weather event. Nevertheless they are still busy.
Their latest mission (DART), has been a success. The idea behind this, is to crash a probe in to an asteroid, with the view to changing it's trajectory. This is useful as once we know that this is possible, we can protect the Earth from incoming asteroids or potentially other objects.
I have asked a few related questions on Science Forums, a link to which is below.

Update: Looks like the mission worked and the asteroid changed direction

Python video tutorials
Just found a series of videos on Peertube which cover the Python 3 Programming language.
Worth a look, as different tutorials can present the same material in a different way, sometimes this is really helpful.
