-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well there are a lots of projects in magazines such as the magpi, which are freely downloadable, tom and myself have also undertaken projects and can probably help remotely with things. You can start with scratch and then use scratch to inteface with the gpio moving on there is minecraft , you can use python or Gordon Hendersons return to basics to interact with the environment, I did read that sonic pi (ruby based) can also be used to interact with minecraft and play music while in game. I would not underestimate what children and young people are capable of, give them the resources, hardware and access to tutorials, documentation and support them, or encourage peer support and they should be able to really thrive on all this. It may be worth opening such a group up to kids from other primary schools you can bring in more that way, the more people there the more expertise and experience can be shared. Just found Mark's reply to this, we are happy to help,. don't forget the local pi jam, for north devon this is possibly barnstaple but there is one in Exeter on Saturday and of course the tech jam in Paignton on the 13th, Maybe worth also looking to see if there is a barclays code playground,which is scratch based but it starts people off. hope this helps Paul On 04/06/15 11:39, Tom wrote: > Someone at my daughters primary school has got a Pi and has been > asking about starting a group for the kids.
