@elsiegee40 called and here I am! Yep, Code Club has a bunch of free projects available to use to help kids learn the basics of programming. We write for the average literacy and numeracy of 9 - 11 year olds, but we've certainly seen this work well with aged 7 plus too. You can have a look at the projects here - just click on any which says "Sample". The rest are unlocked when you register for a club. It's really easy to get started, just give me a shout if you have any questions.

@Jonathan28 Have a look at the workshop timetable and check out any of the sessions with a red dot next to it - they are particularly good for anyone new to Raspberry Pi.

Hi folks This year at BETT I'm part of a Raspberry Pi / Code Club talk on the STEAM Village Stage at BETT on Friday 22nd Jan from 10.45 - 11.15. The topic is "Excitement! Adventure! Making Primary Computer Science More Dynamic" and we'll be looking at how to introduce physical computing into primary settings. The Raspberry Pi / Code Club stand is in the STEAM village and then look for stand E463. We have workshops running every half an hour on a massive variety of subjects, whether you're looking at supporting the technology used in teaching computing, teaching computing yourself or you're a hobbyist who would like the chance to tinker and get hands-on. This is the full workshop programme from Wednesday to Saturday and I'll be around on the stand on Friday and Saturday if you want to come and have a chat. There's nothing to buy so no sales pitches, just lots of learning opportunities, great conversations and goody bags for those who take part in workshops! Thanks Katharine

@Jawloms - the Raspberry Pi / Code Club stand is in the STEAM village. Just looked on the floor plan and I can't see us either! Just head for the STEAM village area though and I'm sure you'll find us!

I certainly will! The Edugeek stand has always been my favourite stand at BETT!

There is useful free stuff to be had at the Raspberry Pi / Code Club Stand in the STEAM Village: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/visit-bett-show-2016/ To obtain the swag, you'll need to take part in a workshop - and there are some corkers (look out for the Astro Pi ones if you are interested in the research being done by Tim Peake on the International Space Station): https://www.raspberrypi.org/education/bett-2016/workshop-timetable-2/ I'm running the "Make a ChatBot" sessions on Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd - not especially Edugeeky, but if you would like to point any teachers in your schools in my direction, that would be grand!

Hi there Thanks for the shoutout @exa_mark. My talks about "Creative Primary Coding with Code Club" are at 2pm on Friday 22nd January and 12noon on Saturday 23rd January. It would be great to see some Edugeeks there! Cheers, Katharine
