You may have noticed a link to compute-it added to the list of websites, if you're not sure what this is I have put a brief description below. Some of the young people attending both code club and stem group have used it
Compute IT consists of puzzles where you need to follow the instructions presented in the code displayed on the screen, This stars out simple and gets more complex or involved as you go.`

I have added a video to my peertube resources to illustrate.

Beginner Level
Roblox
As Roblox is very popular and allows you to develop within the game the following may be useful.
Note you need your own laptop with this installed so you can develop Lua projects for Robox. You can use Replit to learn Lua but need an account.
GNU / Linux BASH
This is something that once mastered can be very beneficial
Python
Web Site Creation
Other
Free Code Camp offer a wide range of follow along interactive courses, tutorials etc. You will need an account but it is probably worth getting on.

Minetest – Minecraft clone
*An open source voxel game engine. Play one of our many games, mod a game to your liking, make your own game, or play on a multiplayer server.
This could be a great way to start programming and collaborating with others, could be something that can be discussed at the Paignton Library STEM group (see links below).
We do have two Raspberry Pi's, which we could install Minetest, Lua along with other related software. We just need people with the right expertise to help, either in person or virtually.
If you do come to the STEM group with the view to doing this then you will need to bring your own Laptop, Raspberry Pi or other device with you. We don't have Minetest installed on the computers at the library.

Learning and Modding
First step with this is probably going to be learning to program in Lua. The following may provide some useful links for this.
