Teaching Computing Curriculum
The new framework for teaching computing and computer science can be found on the Teach Computing website.
As part of this, there are sections covering teaching animation. One example is for year 3 – Stop frame animation
At code club we have a piece of software called Tupi, which can be used for animation. I am creating a set of videos for peertube to cover the basic usage of this. As I am using Debian 11 to use the software and produce these resources they can be found in the Debian section of my diode.zone account on the federated Peertube network.
Please do not ask me about uploading to Youtube.
The next Code Club is on Saturday 15th October, so we may take a look at this IF there is sufficient interest.

Code Club & STEM Group updates 4
Identify different video out connectors. I am making this post, as I may need to ask people what type of video connectors they have on their hardware, this will help them, help me. I can then turn up at a school or other venue with the correct cables.

HDMI Connector, this should give a rough idea of the size, shape

Pi-Brella
The Pi-brella is a small add on board for the original Raspberry Pi, but still functions on newer models. This had features, such as a buzzer, i/o sockets, a switch and LEDs.

Code Club & STEM Group updates 2
Working on a few resources to support code club, if there are doubts about my ability to put effort in to something then these are clearly misguided.
I am looking for employment to support and help with STEM. At code club & STEM Group, I think there is scope to help with
- Physical computing
- General coding (Scratch, Python)
- Networking
- BASH Command line
- Data Detox workshops
- Study skills
Along with a lot more,

Raspberry Pi, set up with a Breadboard and wires. I just need to re-flash the SDcard.
LED Bargraph (this can be connected to a PI using Female to Female leads, however using Female to Male leads, it can be connected to an Arduino.)
LED Traffic Lights (this can be connected to a PI using Female to Female leads, however using Female to Male leads, it can be connected to an Arduino.)
The GPIO header allows connection of a Pi to a header on a breadboard for prototyping, the other end (under the board) plugs in to the Pi.
We will hopefully carry on at the next STEM Group meeting.

LibreOffice : The New Generation
In late January, we announced LibreOffice New Generation, which focuses on bringing younger contributors into our projects and communities. We’ve had many discussions in our Telegram group since then, and today we’re announcing our first finished project: a LibreOffice flyer for schools and universities:
