Code Club 19/2/2022 Writeup

Another really busy code club today, a few new starters, so we got to work using Scratch and also hour of code. This is proving really popular, some attendees are undertaking more advanced activities, and others are carrying on with HTML/CSS

No Lego WeDo today, due to those attendees not being able to attend, however, Loic (one of the library staff) did get the Lego Mind storms working which is going to be really good going forward and also good for the STEM group meetings.

The next Club will be on Saturday 5th March 2022 @ Paignton Library. Please contact the library to book.

Next STEM Group meeting is 12th March.

We will carry on with what we were doing today.

As I am a STEM Ambassador. I attended some training today (17/1/2020) to help support the First Lego League Jr Expo event. This will running in June 2020.

We started out with a presentation on STEM Ambassadors, then we moved on to looking at the Lego WeDo kits, what we could do with them and how to use the various sensors that come with the kit. For example sound sensor, movement and distance sensor. The IDE for this is really easy to use. Scratch also has built in support (via a module) that supports WeDo.

In the afternoon we looked at what the Lego League Expo was and how schools can prepare for this event in June.

Each school received 2x Lego WeDO kits and 2x lego enginnering kits for the Expo.
