After School club projects

Hello, Hopefully within the next couple of weeks I'll be helping out in a local school's Pi club.

The format is pretty much free form, about an hour or so after school.

I'd love some ideas from this group as to what would be a good project for an hour or so - it can be anything, a Python Project, some GPIO interfacing, Scratch.

The Teaching and Learning Resources topic on the foundation's forum only has just over 300 posts, I was hoping for a bit more than that !

Thank you.

Hookup an couple of relays to the let them turn on lights (home automation) or a train set.

Make a Fake TV like set up with some LED's. Fake TV is new product that turns LED's on and off during certain times of the day to make it look like you're home over vacation. Supposidly the algorithm emulates the average light pattern of a TV. Think of it as the digital version of the old lamp timers.

Write a pong game. Maybe get an Aurdino and have it emulate a keyboard so you can hook up a could of game controller or get some USB controllers. I don't know how well the Python API works with joysticks.
