Code Club Electronics 14
I want to build something for the science kit to make it easier to stir liquids. I have found a project for a DC motor controlled by a potentiometer. that also uses an Arduino microcontroller. This should be easy enough to build and attach a stirrer to. This can be soldered up, battery attached, power switch may also be needed.
Should then be easier to stir liquids for science experiments.

Facebook and personal data, the farce carries on.
Not a week goes by without Facebook or rather its parent company Meta Being in the news. A recent article, raises yet more questions about what happens to our personal data once Facebook / Meta get hold of it.
The GDPR is very clear as to how data can be used, the fact Facebook appear unable to control what goes on, shows they are not fit for purpose. Companies or individuals that use Facebook could end up complicit in any data misuse.
The problem probably arises as YOU sign up to Facebook and therefore consent to them using your data, photos etc.
This is why CHOICE is important. I don't have a problem with education establishments using Facebook for student communication, I just won't use it. I do object to people assuming I use Facebook.

Data Detox Kit: Workshops
This looks like a really good resource, I will download and see what I can do with this. It could make a really good discussion topic at the Paignton Library STEM group.
