If you want to introduce your code club to physical computing with a micro controller - I’m thinking lighting up LEDS etc what is the most cost effective kit? #ccukchat

@CodeClubSarah @ItsMiasTweets @sneekylinux you could try the astro_pi mission zero challenge as a fun simple introduction to python with a great certificate reward when completed. #CCUKchat

If you are moving from Scratch to say HTML, make sure they can finish the project in one session so they get feeling of achievement, then after a few weeks they won't mind taking longer #CCUKChat

Top tip #2 Don't be scared to mix up the scratch projects as some guys don't like to follow the rules or they may really want to try something different from other members of your club😀 #ccukchat

One of my top tips for when you are just starting a Code @CodeClub is to make sure you have all the paperwork ready for your clubbers, I always make sure I arrive a little early so everything is ready #ccukchat

In that case, I would give python a go but don't forget there are lots of resources out there including rapid router #ccukchat

@CodeClub I'm curious to know how both our lovely volunteers got into volunteering at a Code Club. Why did they decide get involved? #CCUKchat
