Love creating music? Love dabbling with the odd bit of code here and there? Well keep an eye on this project, you'll soon be able to smash these two loves into one and then explore the creative world you've just created.

It's been all Python at my Code Club's this week. From Astro Pi, Mission Zero to encapsulating Pygame Zero enemy Actors in their own objects!

Saturday was loads of fun attending #STEAM Fest at the Hive in Worcester. I spent the day wearing my @codeclub.bsky.social hat (t-shirt), showing children how creative they can be with code.

So do you think someone at The BBC, ITV or Channel 5 might have thought, just for one second, some of their audience might not give a fly monkeys about Trump and his inauguration!

Yesterday was my first after school @codeclub.bsky.social session since the Christmas break and it was time to mix things up a bit. This term we're starting with a bit of Astro Pi Mission Zero!

So now I've had a sleep, and I needed it, it's good to reflect back on the amazing @codeclub.bsky.social #ClubsCon24 weekend. So much chat about so many ideas and opinions. Who I spoke to I can't remember for sure but what I can say is my head has come back full of ideas and enthusiasm.🧵 1/7

So @codeclub.bsky.social's #ClubsCon24 is over, 2 fantastic days packed with so many chats, presentations and talks. The @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social offices were amazing and the food delicious. While the physical conference is over let's keep talking. Here's to #ClubsCon25 🎉

What a fantastic first day of @codeclub.bsky.social #ClubsCon24. I've been interviewed, given my presentation, attended other presentations and been part of a panel of Code Club people from around the world! Bring on day 2!

Fridays are usually the best day of the week but this week especially so, tomorrow is the start of the 2 day @codeclub.bsky.social #ClubsCon24 in Cambridge. Time to catch up with friends, make new ones and generally share enthusiasm and ideas with everyone else!

This term has been all #AI at my Code Clubs, we've had children shouting commands to control fish, wearing virtual hats / scarfs and drawing apple / bananas (or toilets / wands, don't ask) to be recognised. 1/2 🧵 @codeclub.bsky.social

So Code Club have brought their AI projects to the front along with Scratch and Python using a mouse as its logo. I suppose it's logical as they did commission the creation of earth and the whole squeaking and cheese things are just a front! #HHGTTG #Frankie #Benjy @codeclub.bsky.social

Been so busy and it's now only 2 days from @codeclub.bsky.social's #ClubsCon24 in Cambridge! Going to be a fantastic weekend catching up with everyone and sharing plenty of Code Club ideas and enthusiasm. Anyone else heading to Cambridge too?

Due to being a bit busy over the next few weekends digging the Christmas tree happened a bit earlier this year. Dug with roots, in a pot for Christmas and replanted in the new year. A greener Christmas tree 🎄

With #AI being a hot educational topic do you know that Code Club have a whole area dedicated to AI projects? From telling the difference between apples and tomatoes to prompting LLM's and AI image generation. Still a mystery to you? Then dive in and have a go! #EduSky #EdTech @codeclub.bsky.social

Heard of Sonic Pi (what do you mean you've never heard of it!) but maybe not too sure where to start? Maybe the new Sonic Pi course could be the path to kickstart your music and performance through code career! 🎶

Who to believe ? Dr. Jack Shonkoff at Harvard centre for the developing child or an anonymous Ofsted “research” report that references Ofsted’s own “research” and some studies that relate to adults rather than under 5s? Gosh it’s a dilemma…
