We now have some of the Vodafone resources so will be sharing them if anyone is interested.
We still have a few printed resources, which will be binned if no one wants them. Simple fact is, we are running out of space.

Code Club 20/8/2022 Write up
So we had another quiet session today, with 4 young people, plus a parent, nevertheless it was productive. Time was initially split between looking for an iphone cable (could not find one), and also troubleshooting a Raspberry Pi, which seemed more successful.
There was also a discussion on e-safety, in terms of posting online and how this can have consequences later on, employers can do searches on applicants for example and also what to post, also a brief discussion on asking for evidence and finding proper, credible information on the internet, I did give peer review a brief mentiobn
It seems really beneficial to have conversations.
This has prompted me to dig out a few resources I have here at home. These are set to one side for the next session. I have also asked the library if they can send off for some copies of the Vodafone digital parenting resource.
We also have access to a tablet with the Lego WeDo software installed so if anyone is interested they can have a go at code club without having to bring along own devices. However attendees can, it really helps as you can store projects on your own device.

Reverse Image Search
Latest resource in the Data Detox kit from Tactical Tech is reverse image searching. This helps you identify the source of an image, which in turn helps you differentiate between accurate and misinformation.
These resources are well worth checking out. I am still planning on trying to do a talk on privacy at a future STEM group event.
Could be something to discuss at the STEM group meeting or via Discourse or on Mastodon.

E-safety Website
As I have been attending seminars on e-safety, I decided to try and collate some of what I have been learning and combine this with some of my knowledge of programming websites such as:-
My idea is to try and develop a resource which lists benefits, potential risks of using these websites. As these sites have a collaborative element to them.
This is still work in progress, but getting there slowly. I am using the programming website repl.it for this project.
Hopefully, I can eventually share this with people. The benefits of being able to ask for help and have other programmers help you are clear.
I hope through this project that I can share my experience and help others stay safe, ask question in the right way and consider responses to those questions carefully.
I would also hope this demonstrates, some of the skills I am learning and helps me gain meaningful employment.
