<p>The new framework for teaching computing and computer science can be found on the <a href="https://teachcomputing.org/curriculum" rel="nofollow">Teach Computing</a> website.</p>

<p>As part of this, there are sections covering teaching animation.  One example is for <a href="https://teachcomputing.org/curriculum/key-stage-2/creating-media-animation" rel="nofollow">year 3 – Stop frame animation</a></p>

<p>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 <a href="https://diode.zone/my-library/videos?s=1" rel="nofollow">Debian</a> section of my <a href="https://diode.zone" rel="nofollow">diode.zone</a> account on the federated <a href="https://joinpeertube.org/" rel="nofollow">Peertube</a> network.</p>

<p>Please <strong>do not</strong> ask me about uploading to Youtube.</p>

<p>The next Code Club is on Saturday 15th October, so we may take a look at this IF there is sufficient interest.</p>
