During the month of August we have been running a Summer Holiday Club. The theme being covered over the three days each week, from 15th - 31st August, is Young Roboteers.
The date and times are as follows
Week 1- 15th, 16th, 17th, 0900 -1300 (First Group)
Week 2 - 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 0900 - 1300 (Second Group)
Week 3 - 29th, 30th, 31st, 0900 -1300 (Third Group)
Group Numbers limited to 12 per week age range 8 years old to 12 years old
Cost is Free
Location Saint Mary's Church Hall
Resources Required
All resources ie Robot parts, LED strips, robot controllers, tools etc have been provided for use of the children. Each child has been provided with a kit that will enable them to build a small wheeled robot. However, they will not be able to take the kit away at the end of the week as these will be dismantled and reused for the next group.
What have we been doing? (No previous knowledge expected/required)
Breakfast has been provided each day, as well as a snack mid-morning and lunch as well.
We have been building a small wheeled robot that will run on batteries
We have looked at how we can control the robot (wifi)
We have tested the robot out on a track with obstacles and seen how we can make it better
We have looked at programmable LED lights and seen how we can create a racing game with just LED lights. No programming experience necessary.
Anything else we can fit in that will be fun
Photos can be seen below.

Who is running this club?
My name is Stephen I am a retired lecturer who worked at City College Plymouth running the Level 3 video game development course where I specialised in programming, design and 3D modelling. At the College I also ran an after hours coding club, workshops in the College for the primary schools in Devonport area these included using scratch. and Unity game engine. My hobbies are programming in python and javascript, 2d game development, flight simulation(currently building a cockpit) and making interface controls using with Raspberry Pi and Arduino micro controllers.
