Geany Build for Python3
By default, Geany will run programs in Python 2.x. As this is now obsolete, you need to edit the build commands so it points to python3.
This will allow you to run (execute) your code.

Code Club 20/1/2024 Write up
We seem to be heading off at a tangent with code club, however today we carried on with building a robot car, and another group were starting work on a 12 in 1 robot kit.
Elsewhere, we installed Ubuntu on a netbook and had a look at the Sony Laptop, which now dual boots with Ubuntu and has all the various hardware drivers working.
We do however want to get back to coding at Code Club and ensure STEM group is reserved for some of the project work.
Next code club is on 3rd Feb 2024

Japan SLIM Mission
This week saw Japan become only the 5th country to land on the moon. This has been achieved using their SLIM mission, Smart Lander for Investigating the Moon (SLIM).
At the time of writing this, the mission status is that they landed on the moon, but there are issues with the solar panels preventing power to the lander. However, landing on the moon is very difficult. So this success proved the technology worked.
More information will be available in due course, in the meantime there is a link to the mission website below.

HallMarks
These hallmarks appear on a silver plated spoon, we are trying to look up what they mean or indicate, and am in the process of this. But throwing these photos out there to see if anyone else can help please.

Wildlife adaptation
Two research articles posted to the Fediverse, seem to be on a related topic. How wildlife can adapt to climate change. Firstly we have a paper on Cross-species gut microbiota transplantation predictably affects host heat tolerance. This was published in the Journal of Experimental Biology
The second article is A River’s Microbiome May Protect Wild Salmon Against Malnutrition which is published on fhe Forbes website.
Looks like the animal kingdom is able, to a point to adapt to changing conditions. In the case of the 2nd link, then microbioms are playing an importnat role here, and I guess these can also change depending on conditions, if these small organims are affected by both heat and chemical changes in water.
I am not a biologist but I do feel the two articles are related, hence posting links to both.

STEM GROUP Write up 13/1/2024
One of the projects we are trying to do at the STEM group and to a point at Code Club is to build a small robot car. The video below is one we are following.
We spent most of Saturday working on this and a similar car. There are a few issues that have arisen from this, but we are working our way around these.
We will carry on at Code Club on 20/1/2024. In room 10 with normal code club activities in the IT learning centre.
