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!

Hello @simonpenfold.bsky.social 👋🏻

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!

Should creating a Nintendo Mii looking like this be considered wrong?

Too festive for tonight's @codeclub.bsky.social Coffee & Conversation meet-up?

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 🎉

This weekend I've mainly been eating raspberries for breakfast! #ClubsCon24

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!

I suppose this means I've arrived! #ClubsCon24 #FamousRaspberry

Heading in on the park and ride (and I've parked under a solar farm!) #ClubsCon24

And so the #ClubsCon24 road trip begins, see you in a few hours @codeclub.bsky.social

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…

Who wouldn't like to walk the dog out in this snowy environment? It's days like this you remember why you wouldn't want to live anywhere else! #Malvern #Worcestershire

Love a good acronym and this one's colourful too. It's so important to point out that Code isn't the first thing you do when you're Coding!

If you haven't had a look at the Code Club projects before you really should. They have been designed with structure, understandability and progression at their core. Don't believe me, give them a try. Let's start with their Scratch projects. 18 projects broken across 3 levels. #edusky #edtech 🧵

A historic tweet (when tweets were still tweets) from 11 years ago, I can't comment on how others see my passion and enthusiasm for @codeclub.bsky.social but I'm still having a fantastic time thank you very much 😎 (Sorry about the historic cringe @laurakirsop.bsky.social)

It's not just Cerys who has fun in the autumn leaves, we play a game where we have to throw her fetch toy as near as possible to a giant pile of leaves. Bonus is she dives in to find it and then returns it to us for the next throw 😎

1st rule of Code Club, make sure people know what you are talking about! @codeclub.bsky.social is a worldwide community helping young people thrive in this digital world through free (Yes FREE!) coding clubs. We're not talking C# and SQL but Scratch and Python. 🧵 #EduSky

My weekend has been full of potting 3 small rooted Christmas trees. It turns out if you purchase your trees from Tesco's you can find out where they were grown. 🎄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Welcome to the Code Club Chronicle. To be included in this feed mention "Code Club" or "CoderDojo" in your post. All posts from @codeclub.bsky.social are also included. Let's spread the word and enthusiasm around the world and help young people thrive in an increasingly digital world!

I've held onto this domain for years, never knowing what to do with it! But now it's come in really handy, my new handle here on Bluesky is @bob.bilsland.me.uk (who else remembered that me.uk even existed!) #PersonalisedHandle 😎

I'm not all just coding, education and running clubs, sometimes I do really bad impressions of Bert from Mary Poppins! #ChimChimCheree

Yep I've gone and done it, created the Code Club Chronicle, a Bluesky feed showing how far @codeclub.bsky.social reaches around the world. Through their resources people share their enthusiasm and knowledge, helping young people thrive in this technological world! @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social

This can't be right, I can't find anyone using the #ClubsCon24 tag on here! Early attendees start arriving for @codeclub.bsky.social's Clubs Con 24 event being held at the offices of the @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social in Cambridge in only 16 DAYS TIME! 🎉 Who else is going to be there?

It was time for the Children at my Code Clubs to dip their toes in the AI waters. It was such a success it's back to guessing between Apples or Tomatoes next 🎉 #UnderstandingAIThroughPlay @codeclub.bsky.social @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social
