Issues accessing Qubes?
- Ensure Chrome is updated to the latest version — https://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/the-latest-version/chrome
- Ensure the device is updated with the latest Operating System and driver updates.
- Try another device to see if the problem persists — preferably of a different Make/Model.
If still having issues, email peter@learn2code.nz with:
- Student name and School where session is attended.
- Parent contact details.
- Operating System + version, Make, and Model of the device.
- The “SHARE YOUR SYSTEM INFO WITH TECH SUPPORT” URL from https://www.whatismybrowser.com/ on the device.
- A screenshot of the Developer Tools Console, straight after a page reload/refresh:
- Open the Developer Tools. NOTE: If using the keyboard shortcut method, click in the Address Bar then use the shortcut as Qubes blocks those key-presses in the main window — https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/console/#open_as_panel
- Ensure the ‘Console’ tab is selected. If the console isn’t docked at the bottom (for the greatest horizontal width) then click the ┇ menu and choose the “Dock to bottom” dock side.
- Refresh the browser tab on the https://www.qubes.nz URL to generate a fresh console log. Wait until the tab has finished loading — e.g. http://bit.ly/Qb2018T2DevCon
- Take a screenshot, ensuring it shows as much of the end of the console output as possible — https://www.popsci.com/take-screenshot-on-any-device
- Attach the screenshot to your email.

This week was the last for our young coders at St Heliers School (it was a slightly shortened term as we had to avoid a school activity in the last week). 
We’re delighted that Pasadena Intermediate School, in Pt Chevalier, Auckland, will be joining Code Champions in Term 3. They bring the total number of our schools to eight and we can’t wait to get started.
