Our new Raspberry Pi and Python Club (Links to the resources I am using included)


Hello World

Hello World

Over the past two Wednesdays we have finally been able to start up our programming club.

We only have enough room for a few students at the moment, but we will review at Easter.

The Raspberry Pi’s have been fantastic, they have really made difference. Our students have really enjoyed setting them up and connecting everything together. It has a old school feel about it. Its exciting and really engaging.

We have been using projectors, but I finally have some monitors. In the club we will use a combination of the both.

This week was the first time we got down and did some programming. Hence the photo at the top of this post! We are going to be using Python (of course!) as the language of choice.

The resources I am using are:

Introduction to Python V2.1 – By Mark Clarkson

Invent with Python – By Al Sweigart

Raspberry Pi Quick Start Guide

Raspberry Pi Education Manual – By CAS in collaboration with BCS

I also plan to teach Python to Year 8 and 9 after Easter .
