The first week of the STEM Club was intriguing due to the combination of astronomy and coding. We were learning how to understand the basics of coding celestial entities and making them orbit around each other. By understanding the way in which they interact, we can alter the masses and angle of orbit to change the way they function.

The programming software we used was ‘Replit’ which uses JavaScript. Using AI software is surprisingly simple yet effective, using Chat GPT to write the initial code and then tweaking the code to do different things. We also learnt how to add extra components such as trails, mass slides, etc. Overall, it was a very engaging session with new topics covered, and most of all, it was an enjoyable evening with laughs along the way.
