I was asked right at the end of the previous session about a homework project to design something that hasn't been invented yet. I came up with the idea that they look at the space industry given we are going back to the Moon and eventually going to Mars.
The following Links may be a useful starting point.

Code Club 15/10/2022 Write Up
We had a very quiet session today for some reason. Based on the list of attendees booked I set up 3 computers with blender, then also the teaching PC and projector to play a video introducing Blender.
I did have 3 people attend, they were regulars to Code Club but not booked, nevertheless we had a good session with some scratch and discussions around social media.
Right at the end I had two people arrive who are are now booked on to the next session on the 5th November. I will factor this in and sort out some resources so they can start with module 1 of Scratch and work through the various modules and activities.
As sessions are two hours, this gives ample time to not only complete the activity but also move on to adapting the finished project further.
However I think they have another project in mind so I will look at finding some useful resources for that too.
I also used the time to print off the remaining Data Detox workshop slides so I have all of these printed along with their respective support materials ready for a future session.

Carrying on from last session,
We have access to Blender, a 3d graphics package, which can also handle animation etc. There are some good resources for this, so lets see what we can create.
I highly recommand that attendees bring a USB memory stick for saving work / projects. We can't save work to the Library computers, saving work to a cloud service is do-able, but this is sometimes tripped up as due to logging in from a different IP address than normal.
Don't worry we can still do Scratch, HTML / CSS and any of the usual activities.

Code Club 17/9/2022 Write up
Really good and productive session today. After some initial scratch work, and some Rocks and Diamonds level creation, we moved on to the topic of game design.
As we have access to Blender, a 3d graphics package, which can also handle animation etc. We can hopefully start to look at this as an activity for longer term. A good few of the attendees seem to be interested in learning more about this. So this is a topic for the next code club meeting on 1st October.
