Online youth group inspired by Norse seafarers Everything Electronic has all bases covered, writes Lesley Ellis

Everything Electronic Youth Club continues to operate online on Monday nights at 6.30pm. The group had a great winter season. Harvey from Torphins was one of the winners of the International CoderDojo competition, and all of the youngsters who entered the national Brebas Coding Challenge were in the top categories for their age. Currently we have three teams, one group are developing some films on climate change for a youth film-making competition; another group are working on our first “team coding” project developing a multi-layered game on a viking theme and the third group are learning to use digital tools for producing art. Above (and on the cover of this Fountain!) is a picture of the wonderful

Viking who is the hero of the game and a sample of first-attempt pictures for the young digital artists. A new monthly Physics Debate Club has had its inaugural debate. To join any of their activities, see the contacts in their advert below.
