As an educator, the merits of the latter didn't need much working out! I now have quite a bit of 'arduino' and although it's not up for grabs, I'd be happy to see it used in a 'code club' type of environment. I'm down in Penzance, the lab is in Longrock. I've got a fairly good range of basic science equipment which we can use to design, test and develop any ideas; although my science is good, my C is rudimentary. Is there anyone down here with coding skills who'd like to help to start such a club? You can contact me on- or off- list if you are interested. Best, fraser
