Hi,

Thought http://www.codeclub.org.uk/ may be of interest to some;  aimed
at getting primary school kids doing a bit of programming, e.g. with
Scratch.  The map shows schools looking for a volunteer.  There's one in
Bournemouth;  Moordown St. John's, near the Uni I think.

Cheers, Ralph.

I am currently working through Google's Python classes. 
https://developers.google.com/edu/python/
It's pretty good, but could do with a bit more structure and explanation 
when you start from scratch - Sorry, not the Scratch language.


From what I have seen of Scratch, it is very much a 'program generator' 
as we used to call them.




Peter.

*The million dollar question: *

Will you go to heaven when you die? Here's a quick test. Have you ever told
a lie, stolen anything, or used God's name in vain? Jesus said, Whoever
looks at a women (or man) to lust for her has already committed adultery
with her(him)in his heart. Have you ever looked with lust? Will YOU be
guilty on judgement day? If you have done these things God sees you as a
lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer-at-heart. The bible warns that if
you are guilty you will end up in hell. That's not God's will. He sent His
Son Jesus to suffer and die on the cross for you. You broke God's law but
Jesus paid your fine. That means He can legally dismiss your case. He can
commute your death sentence. For God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life. Then He rose from the dead and defeated death. Please
turn from your sin today and trust in Jesus as your Saviour and God will
grant you the gift of everlasting life. Then read your bible daily and obey
it.
