Getting ready for Christmas Capers

Our Code Club is having a little break while I and Joe do a few other things.  Next week I am helping at Hull's Hack to the Future in Bransholme, Hull. It is a day for senior school pupils to learn about all things computer related, run by the incredible Alan O'Donohoe (@teknoteacher) who seems to spend most of his time enthusing school children and the general public about coding and computers.
I'm also spending some time learning about physical computing with my Raspberry Pi and new acquisition, a Pibrella.  I'm hoping to plan a practical session using Raspberry Pis for the year 5 or 6 pupils at Bishopthorpe. What I'd love to do is - the biscuit thief detector which was on Twitter earlier this year and which would require me to attach a motion sensor to the Pibrella.  It needs the pupils to write a Scratch program for the motion sensor so that noises and lights go on when anyone steals a biscuit from a plate. Got to get it working myself first!


Anyway, roll on December and Christmas Capers at Code Club!
